Summary

Mamma Mia meets Bridesmaids in a laugh-out-loud, life affirming comedy

‘An absolute winner’ Celia Anderson

‘No-one depicts family life with more humour and wisdom than Tracy Bloom’ Katie Fforde

‘You will absolutely love Tracy Bloom… Heartfelt and wonderful’ Miranda Dickinson

–––––––––––––––––––

One weekend, one bride-to-be, what could possibly go wrong…

All Shelley wanted on her hen weekend was to enjoy three days of sun, sea and sangria. But instead of being surrounded by the A-team of her closest friends, she somehow ends up with a Golden Girls-meets-the-Spice Girls B-list that includes her mother, a rebellious teenager, and a best mate ‘on the verge’.

The squabbling starts at the airport, and on arrival in Spain, Shelley barely has time to unpack her suitcase before getting an unwanted text ̶ one that throws her wedding into doubt.

Shelley has got a BIG decision to make, but her unruly medley of nearest and dearest seem determined to confuse matters with their own problems.

Have they got what it takes to get her through the most important weekend of her life?

Live tracy bloom … normally

Shockingly bad narration completely ruined a potentially good read. Couldn’t get into the story, and gave up before I threw my iPhone out of the window!!! She portrayed an argumentative, unfriendly bunch of characters, constantly insulting each other, shouting, bickering and arguing! I found it very stressful just listening! Come on Tracy, more of the wonderfully funny, wonderfully narrated ‘no one ever has sex …’ ilk

Slow

Disappointing. I love Tracy Bloom but I found this story to go round and round in circles and very drawn out. None of the normal humour. The narration also didn’t match the characters. Won’t be keeping .
