Jo Blanchard is rebuilding her life after she discovers her husband of many years has been having an affair. Having embarrassed his partner's mistress at a prominent school function Jo embarks on a new career as a marriage celebrant.
There were parts of the book that were funny but they were few and far between. There were plenty of characters in the book and they all had their own quirks. Yet the characters seem to never stray from type and there needed to be some character development. Jo spends most of the book being passive and only really sticks up for herself with the help of the friends.
There was a lot of promise but it took until halfway mark for the story to really becoming engaging.
