The blurb
All she wants is perfect Christmas Eve wedding...
It's been on Anna's wish-list since she was a little girl, dreaming of a far happier family life than she'd ever experienced.
But now - only two weeks before her big day - her perfect husband-to-be drops a bombshell...
Only nothing's going to stop Anna's plans - not even the pesky inconvenience of discovering her groom already has a wife!
Anna and Tom are due to get married within weeks in Anna's dream Christmas Eve wedding. Anna is obsessive about every detail of this wedding making the reader wonder if it is more about the wedding rather than the marriage.
We get to find out why Anna is as obsessive and controlling as she is when we delve into her background.
Tom is ready to accept Anna, warts and all only there is the little matter in the fact that Tom is still married to another woman and forgot to tell Anna, until now.
Anna being so hell bent on her Christmas Eve wedding takes evasive action and jumps on a flight to New York to track down the 1st Mrs Collins in an attempt to get an annulment of their marriage. Where is Tom? Still at home and confiding in Anna's best friend, Liv. Liv has something she needs to share with Tom and Anna, too.
Meanwhile, Anna, has picked up a travelling companion in the shape of Miles, and lands in New York looking for a needle in a haystack, or a stripper in a nightclub to be exact. Miles is not just any travelling companion but one that Anna has met before.
This story has all the elements of a festive movie, with some over the top scenes, reminiscent of those festive movies and I could see Jennifer Anniston (with an English accent) playing the part of Anna on the big screen.
There are some very funny and sharp one liners from Scarlett Bailey. Have we got to wait until next year for another festive frolic from Scarlett? I hope not!
A fun rom-com that is right up to date and just perfect for the festive season.
8/10 for me!
Rom-com, love triangle, wedding, Christmas, New York
