Publisher Description

At the age of eighteen, in that first golden Oxford summer, Milly was up for anything. Rupert and his American lover, Allan, were an important part of her new, exciting life, so when Rupert suggested to her that she and Allan should get married to keep Allan in the country, Milly didn't hesitate. Ten years later, Milly is a very different person and engaged to Simon—who is wealthy, serious, and believes her to be perfect. Milly's secret history is locked away so securely she has almost persuaded herself that it doesn't exist—until, only four days before her elaborate wedding. To have and to hold takes on a whole new meaning when one bride's past catches up with her and bring the present crashing down. With her trademark style of keen insight, and razor sharp wit, Madeleine Wickham introduces her fanatical fan-base, plus a host of new readers to a fresh and irresistible heroine in The Wedding Girl.

"This is not one of this author's best novels, but it still has her trademark humor and honesty. Her characters are always real with absurd but somehow realistic situations in a manner that deals with the emotions of the entire cast. It's very appealing. A good winter read. :)"

— Kenaia (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “A rare breed of beach read that is breezy but does not wriggle out of difficult adult choices.”

    — Entertainment Weekly on Sleeping Arrangements
  • “Gutsy prose and an excellent ear for social comedy.”

    " This author and Sophie Kinsella are actually the same person - Sophie's books (Shopaholic series) are generally more fun, light hearted and very quick to get into and read. Her books under Wickham, I've found, are a little more serious and sometimes hard to pick up in the beginning. But, as a fan of easy books in between more serious reads, it was a good break! The storyline was actually a bit surprising. "

    " This book was fun and charming, I really liked the main characters and it had a happy ending tied in a bow. Several parts were so unrealistic (Alexander popping back up and remembering Milly, Milly finding Rupert in London), but that's what makes it fun chick lit! "

    " While I enjoyed this book, I don't understand what this author has with main characters that build their life on lies. She does it in the Shopaholic books as well. While her stories are enjoyable, I don't have a lot of sympathy for characters that just won't tell the truth. "
