When life hands you lemons, make lemonadeāor, in Piper Brodyās 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 Craigslistāas a hired bridesmaid. Her airport bookseller job just isnāt bringing home the turkey bacon, and no oneās going to pay her to analyze Miltonās poetry. Turns out, having an English literature degree from an upstanding university isnāt all itās cracked up to be.
Piperās 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 whoās so type A sheās type A-plus. Between fighting off matching T-shirtāwearing teams of ābustle bitchesā 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, Charlieās the only person recently whoās encouraged Piper to follow her dreams. Not to mention, heās pretty darn cute.
But when Charlie turns out to be the groom in one of her gigsāand set to marry the craziest bridezilla of them allāPiper must band together with her newfound friends and stop Charlie from making the biggest mistake of his life.
