Beth Evans a vue les choses en grand : elle organise un somptueux mariage dans la baie de Chesapeake. Tenue correcte exigée et cavalier de mise. Pourtant Hannah, Vicki, Rob, Joe et Nancy déclinent l'offre de la jeune femme pour cause de... célibat. Ces convives un peu à part vont faire contre mauvaise fortune bon coeur, retrouver leurs amis, se saouler et se déhancher sur la piste de danse. Ces célibataires à la dérive - dans leur vie comme sur le plan de table- vont se révéler très attachants.
From Meredith Goldstein, the author of the Boston Globe's hilarious Love Letters advice column, comes her debut novel The Wedding Guests. This lighthearted, witty tale about five tricky wedding guests is perfect for fans of the box office smash hit comedy Bridesmaids.
One wedding. Five nightmare guests. Five ways to ruin the happiest day of someone else's life:
- Cry uncontrollably over your ex in front of the bride and mix calming herbal remedies with copious amounts of alcohol so that it's hard to stand up - especially if you're a bridesmaid
- Dress like you are attending a funeral and look for opportunities to re-enact scenes from steamy novels
- Turn up late wearing a T-shirt covered in mud and something that looks like blood
- If you are the bride's uncle, who no one likes anyway, try to cop off with her friend who's way too young for you
- Wear a suit that stinks of chicken wings and then spend the whole reception propping up the bar
Who said going to a wedding solo couldn't be fun?
The Wedding Guests is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of what not to do at a wedding.
Seventeen-years-old Maya thinks she’s solved the equation for happiness. She’s got the perfect boyfriend, a killer internship at MIT, and amazing friends to lift her spirits since her mother’s death. It’ the dream summer come true. That is, until one unexpected variable- or breakup in Maya’s case- sends her scrambling for a way to win back her boyfriend, Whit.
After digging through her scientist mother’s old notebook, Maya thinks she’s found the perfect cure for the common breakup: a little love serum. But all good hypotheses need test subject. Enter Kyle, Maya’s MIT friend, and Asher, the star YouTuber and heartthrob Maya meets at a party.
Now, all Maya needs to do is conduct a few dodgy experiments and partake in a lot of unethical kissing to convince Whit that they’re evolutionarily perfect for each other.
But as Maya’s experiments wreak havoc on herself and the boys in her life, she’ll have to confront the possibility that maybe matters of the heart can’t be solved using the scientific method.
