The Wedding Machine, book #21

 

If I've said it once this year, I've said it a million times.  Don't judge a book by it's cover!  This one looked like a fun read ~ perfect since Leah's wedding is coming up in just one week! - and it even sounded cute too.  

But alas .... not a BAD book, just not as silly and funny as I thought it would be.  Much deeper than I imagined.  

Welcome to Jasper, South Carolina. A place where Southern hospitality thrives. Where social occasions are done right. And where, for generations, the four most upstanding ladies of this community ensure that the daughters of Jasper are married in the proper manner.  Friends from school days, "the gals" have long pooled their silver, china, and know-how to pull off beautiful events. They're a force of nature, a well-oiled machine. But the wedding machine's gears start to stick during the summer their own daughters line up to tie the knot. In the lowcountry heat and humidity, tempers flare, old secrets leak out . . . and both love and gardenias bloom in unlikely places. (picture and description at Amazon)

Next up I'm back out west, with orphans and maybe a bride?

Happy summer reading!
