Description

Meet Scarlett O'Hara - wedding planner extraordinaire who's famous for making dreams come true. From scuba-diving ceremonies to flamingos at the reception, her colour-coded checklists make everything look simple. Scarlett s personal life ran just as smoothly. Until now. Her dependable boyfriend has moved to Brazil. She's had to give up her Dublin flat and move back home. And she's pregnant. Worse still, she doesn't know who the father of the baby is... even though she s slept with exactly 4-and-a-half men in her entire 35 years. How will Scarlett cope now all her best laid plans have gone with the wind?

Reviews

Move over Marian, it's Ciara . . . impressive and highly entertaining [with] one of the most authentic female characters I've read in women's fiction for a long time . . . lots of biting humour and a darker side beneath the laughs. - Irish Independent Review 'I loved this . . . it's warm, funny and made me cry (a couple of times). It is also really well written . . . Perfect for a summer's day with not much else on since you'll want to read it in one sitting' - Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail So funny and so much fun, it's impossible to believe it's Geraghty's first . . . Warm , moving and hilarious. - Evening Herald, Ireland 'Hilarious . . . But there's death and guilt, too, in this sometimes dark, tear-jerking novel' **** - Company Perfect pace and plenty of banter help Geraghty's debut hit the right balance between hilariously funny and poignant . . . accessible and charming. - Image, Ireland
