There Goes the Bride: This girl is out of here.. by Holly McQueen

****4 stars
I really liked the way this book was done. Although the story is about Polly each chapter is written from Grace's (Polly's best friend) and Bella (Polly's sister), while also telling what is going on with their lives and why they are spending so much energy on Polly and trying to avoid the things that are going on in their lives. I really liked the book and it had a suspenseful feel throughout. I felt this book went a bit deeper than the average chick lit and found it fast paced. This was my first book my McQueen and now I am looking forward to reading some of her others.

Book Jacket Summary:
Polly Atkins is getting married.
And her older sister Bella couldn’t be more excited. Not only will Polly be home after five years in New York, but she’s coming back to marry the most perfect man on the planet, Dev. Dresses, cake, first dance … Bella’s looking forward to getting stuck into the arrangements.
Polly's best friend Grace is just as excited. She’s can’t wait to walk down the aisle behind her childhood ally, especially as the stylish Polly wouldn’t dream of dressing her bridesmaids in anything but the best, which will make a welcome change to the ‘mum-wear’ she’s adopted since her second child was born.
The only person who doesn’t seem to be bursting with enthusiasm is Polly. Which is why, before things can get any more chaotic, she calls the whole thing off. And there’s no way she’s going to tell them why. Some secrets are best kept hidden.
But she’s reckoned without Grace and Bella, who are determined to get Polly and Dev back together if it's the last thing they do. After all, solving someone else’s problems has got to be better than dealing with their own …?
