Sixteen-year-old Delilah Welling never understood why Darcy Strong despised her so much. Especially since their mothers had been friends for a lifetime.

Upon her mother's insistence, Delilah finally agrees determined to look at the bright side. And there couldn’t be a brighter side than Hugh Rowen, a.k.a. the groom. Delilah has always been in love with Hugh and could never understand what a nice guy like Hugh was doing with a wench like Darcy. Before the wedding, Delilah discovers that the bride-to-be is keeping a torrid secret. Fearful that she will hurt Hugh, she remains silent, going about her Junior Bridesmaid duties as planned. Until... All hell breaks loose during the wedding ceremony. Embarrassed and devastated, Delilah flees the wedding. But not before hurting the love of her life.

Excerpt

I watched in the mirror as Angela emerged from the back room waddling in my direction holding a hideous purple cap in her clutches. My eyes squinted unable to believe what I was seeing. It looked like it belonged on a circus monkey.

“Holy shit, is that a parrot?” I breathed as I was figuring the entire saga was about to take a turn for the unbelievably god-awful. That dreadful hat was about to find a home on the top of my head. Parrot and all.

“It’s a blue bird,” the woman answered still coming toward me.

Junior bridesmaid, my ass. I was slowly being turned into a chump. Or maybe it was a chimp.

“God help me,” I closed my eyes and prayed.

This wedding was going to be the death of me.

Review

I was given this book by author for honest review. 16 year old, Delilah, a Junior Bridesmaid in the wedding of the man of her dreams, Hugh, inadvertently causes disaster and it gets canceled. Now 12 years later Hugh comes back into her life via a message. I found this book to be witty and funny and although it’s my first read by Baker it won’t be my last.
