What to expect
This is the question Becky Steele finds herself asking, on the morning of her very own wedding. Having finally managed to fit into her meringue dress after weeks of drinking only skimmed water, she is suddenly uncertain about what exactly she wants.
Yes, she loves Julian, but is she quite ready to become a proper grown-up, and give up on the joys of the single life? Julian might be the right man, but has she had enough wrong ones?
Things get more complicated still when temptation arrives in the form of gorgeous rockstar toy boy Zack. And it looks like Julian might be making a few contingency plans of his own…
Praise for Kathy Lette:
‘Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.’ DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST
‘Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.’ NICOLE KIDMAN
‘Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.’ STEPHEN FRY
