About this listen
A sharp and hilariously relatable novel about the business of weddings, the toll they can take, and the lengths one exasperated bridesmaid will go to for the love of friends.
Lily Weiss is her mother’s worst nightmare: thirty-two and single - the horror! She’s also a talented writer but hides behind a boring job at a science foundation. To her friends, she’s reliable and selfless, which is how she winds up a bridesmaid in five weddings in six weeks. Anything for her three best friends and two (younger) siblings, right? Even if her own love life is...well, she’d rather not talk about it. To keep her sanity, Lily needs a safe place to vent.
And so her anonymous blog, Bridesmania, is born. The posts start pouring out of her: all the feels about mom-zillas, her vanishing bank balance, the wicked bridesmaids of the west, high-strung brides-to-be, body-shaming dress clerks, bachelorette parties, and Spanx for days, not to mention being deemed guardian of eighty-eight-year-old Granny (who enjoys morning mimosas in the nude) for her brother’s destination wedding.
So far the blog has stayed anonymous. But as everyone knows, few things online remain secret forever...
When all is said and done, can Lily help all five couples make it to happily ever after? And will her own happy ending be close behind?

When Marilyn Kleinman is caught making out with the rabbi’s son in front of the whole congregation, her parents ship her off to her great-aunt Ada for the summer. If anyone can save their daughter’s reputation, it’s Philadelphia’s strict premier matchmaker. Either that or Marilyn can kiss college goodbye. To Marilyn’s surprise, Ada’s not the humorless septuagenarian her mother described. Not with that platinum-blonde hair, Hermès scarf, and Cadillac convertible. She’s sharp, straight-talking, takes her job very seriously, and abides by her own rules…mostly.

The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

Rhiannon Hunter may have revolutionized romance in the digital world, but in real life she only swipes right on her career - and the occasional hookup. The cynical dating app creator controls her love life with a few key rules: nude pics are by invitation only; if someone stands you up, block them with extreme prejudice; protect your heart. Only there aren't any rules to govern her attraction to her newest match, former pro-football player Samson Lima. The sexy and seemingly sweet hunk woos her one magical night...and disappears.

From a fling-gone-wrong to friend breakups and a new romance, Sarah's signature wit and sharp observations take you on a journey at once so deviously funny and surprisingly compassionate that it might just steal your heart - not to mention your pants.

A young woman walks into an employment agency and requests a job that has the following traits: It’s close to her home, and it requires no reading, no writing, and, ideally, very little thinking. Her first gig - watching the hidden-camera feed of an author suspected of storing contraband goods - turns out to be inconvenient. Her next gives way to the supernatural: announcing advertisements for shops that mysteriously disappear. As she moves from job to job, it becomes increasingly apparent that she's not searching for the easiest job at all but something altogether more meaningful.

I'm glad I listened thrift the end
I have mixed feelings about this story. the premise was good, the narrator did a good job but I nearly spotted listening halfway thrift because the characters were so unlikable and immature. that being said, once the obvious drama hits and Lilly has to work her way out of it, it gets better. I'm bldg I finished it but it wouldn't be worth spending a credit.

Entertaining, but not a good audible listen. May try reading this one myself.
It was alright. There were some funny moments, but not as many as I expected. I love 27 Dresses and this is a lot like it (there is even a reference to it) and this is a similar enough storyline. Not completely, but enough to see the influence.
The narrator was hard to listen to. I found myself having to rewind several times when I got distracted. It made it hard to fully focus and easy to drift away from the book. I may have enjoyed it more if I read the book myself. The voices were a bit much for me and I think they made it sound a little whinier than intended.
I’m not sure why the character chose to make the blog. No matter if you are anonymous, the details she put in made it obvious it was her. I would’ve saved some of that for my diary and changed a few things for the blog, especially since she’d published to a pretty popular website. I get she didn’t think anyone would read, but there’s always a chance. She also kind of stuck her nose up to all her friends as If she was better than everyone. It got to be a lot sometimes. In that same light, she never said no to any of their ridiculous demands. It’s one thing to let minor things go, but changing yourself completely is where I would’ve said absolutely not.
Now, I did enjoy most of the book. The sad thing is, there actually are brides who act the way her friends did. They tend to think of the wedding party as objects made to prop them up on their big day and not individuals who are complex and have their own lives to live. Being expected to shell out thousands and dye hair and tan is becoming more and more of a thing. Asking people to travel to different countries and to pay for things even if they can’t afford it, or don’t participate. All that sounds like a movie, but are things that are becoming expected now. I’ve heard some horror stories from people I know, or read about. The wedding industry certainly does make good entertainment!

For the love of Lily
I was sad to see the ending of this book. Not because it was a bad ending.. because I came to love Lily! I related to her so much, I felt like we were friends and I was listening to her chaotic life while bundled up on the couch. We can all relate to the messiness of late 20s- early 30s. This is a book all about truly finding yourself and having to face your mistakes, your flaws and the realization that, it’s not always about you. I wish Lily’s blog was a real thing. I’d definitely turn notifications on for those posts.
