This book is a charming, light weight tale about a young woman who is overly sensitive about her looks and weight, and very imaginative. She makes up a boyfriend because her Mom is always worried that she won't get married. But then her sister's wedding comes along and she has to produce the boyfriend. Oops.

The book was originally titled "Asking for Trouble." The title was changed when it became the basis for the movie "The Wedding Date."

It is significantly different from the movie, especially as all characters are British. Sometimes the British slang is a bit hard to translate, but not too often.
