Meet the wedding party:



THE BRIDE AND GROOM


Celine and Luke are meant to get married and live happily ever after.


But Celine's more interested in playing the piano, and Luke's a serial cheater.



THE BRIDESMAID


Phoebe, Celine's sister, is meant to finish college and get a real job.


Instead, she pulls pints, lives with six flatmates, and has no long-term aspirations beyond smoking her millionth cigarette.



THE BEST MAN


Archie, Luke's best friend and ex-boyfriend, is meant to move up the corporate ladder and on from Luke.


Yet, he stands where he is, admiring the view.



THE GUEST


Vivian, Luke's other best friend and other ex, was meant to put up with Luke's bullshit when they dated.


But she didn't.


And now she is contented, methodically observing her friends like ants.



As the wedding approaches and these five lives intersect, each character will find themselves looking for a path to their happily ever after - but does it lie at the end of an aisle?


From the author of
Exciting Times,
