The Lady


I lost myself so completely in Fran and her family’s woes that I read the whole book in 24 hours rather than the 36 hours it took for everything to unfold. The wedding part was very realistic from the over amorous guests to the women changing into comfy shoes, but this was certainly the most intriguing wedding story I have ever read.Fast paced and absorbing, I felt like I was one of the guests listening in to something I shouldn’t. A very juicy read! ―
