When life hands you lemons, make lemonadeâor, in Piper Brodyâs case, make a Craigslist ad offering yourself up as a hired bridesmaid! A hilarious, touching, coming-of-age novel from debut author Anne Wagener.
Piper is a recent college grad who decides to sell her body on Craigslistâas a hired bridesmaid. Her airport bookseller job just isnât bringing home the turkey bacon, and no oneâs going to pay her to analyze Miltonâs poetry. Turns out, having an English literature degree from an upstanding university isnât all itâs cracked up to be.
Piperâs Craigslist endeavor soon picks up steam, netting her clients such as Southern peach Stacey, whose interracial marriage causes a family feud, and Alex, a bride-to-be whoâs so type A sheâs type A-plus. Between fighting off matching T-shirtâwearing teams of âbustle bitchesâ at gown sales and learning more about fondant than the Cake Boss, Piper falls for Charlie Bell, the brother of a client. A fellow aspiring writer, Charlieâs the only person recently whoâs encouraged Piper to follow her dreams. Not to mention, heâs pretty darn cute.
But when Charlie turns out to be the groom in one of her gigsâand set to marry the craziest bridezilla of them allâPiper must band together with her newfound friends and stop Charlie from making the biggest mistake of his life.
