Here comes the bride(smaid)...

Hi! This is Miss Jo. I wanted to let you know about another neat book I just read.

Spring is in the air and I'm sure there are going to be some weddings in your neighborhood before too long. You might even be in the wedding as a bridesmaid. If so, you might want to check out The Bridesmaid by Hailey Abbott.

Abby Beaumont knows all about weddings and how ordinary women turn into "Bridezillas." Abby's parents own a catering hall and every week there is a wedding. Abby and her older sister Carol (who is off at college) help with these events. One day Carol comes home from college and tells her family that she is getting married.


How could she do this to Abby?

Everyone in the family is excited with all the wedding plans -- except Abby. Abby's mother turns into the evil mother of the bride. How could this happen? Her father is ignored when he offers his opinions. And Carol -- Abby doesn't even know who she is anymore. She goes crazy with the planning. She wants ugly bridesmaid dresses, and carrot cake for the reception.

Abby can't take it any longer. She has problems of her own: she has school to think about. Maybe a new boyfriend. Plus, she wants to study abroad her senior year. And to top it all off, her best friend -- her sister Carol -- will be moving to Colorado after the wedding.

Will the wedding go off without a hitch? Will Abby survive the madness?

This is a fun book with a twist. Check it out and enjoy.

See you at the wedding!

(HA!)
