Wedding planner and single: what a recipe for office gossip! Tyler has to combine the the stress of planning a wedding everyday with knowing hers isn’t even on the charts. Her best friend moved across country, her ex dumped her for space and married someone else a month later, and she’s avoiding her family like the plague because her mother is desperate for grandchildren and thinks “available” is the only criteria a man needs. Meanwhile most of her friends’ relationships are falling apart – but they are still desperate to get her into one…

This diary of disasters is absolutely hilarious in places. It is not just the weddings where things go dreadfully awry. Her dating life – the bubble bath fiend, the date who forgot to mention his wife, etc. – is a similar mess. When the man she meets ‘forgetting’ he’s still married is not the worst thing that happens on their date, you know you’re in for a treat. Her cold-blooded British boss is a delight throughout: imagine “The Devil wears Prada” and now imagine the boss from hell likes you…and is still utterly terrifying.

Laugh out loud funny in places, it is a book I read with a smile most of the way through. I got a little annoyed with her when her ex comes back into the picture. Is “Get lost” really so hard to say? Even written from her point of view, what comes across plainly is that when it comes to him, Tyler has no spine and no self-respect (and really needs to learn to stand up to her mother). Still, everyone has their weaknesses, and the rest of the book makes up for it. The ending is predictable from early on, but that doesn’t really harm the story.

This isn’t Bridget Jones’s Diary: it’s funnier, and most of the club enjoyed it, regardless of age or gender. Wry and sensitive observations on people are combined with the farce that weddings can be, and that her love life certainly is. There’s a fair bit of adult humour, and it is not for kids although the older end of YA might enjoy it.

Overall, it’s a funny and entertaining diary of disasters, great for an evening read.
