Alice Porter is about to marry the man of her dreams, until she walks down the isle and the man at the alter is a complete stranger to her. Convinced that this man isn't her Seth, she panics and calls off the wedding. She doesn't recognize him or his parents but everyone around her tells her that it's them. If this isn't Alice's Seth, then who is it and where is the actual Seth?
This book has many twists and turns. Alice is in an almost constant state of panic. It gets slightly annoying but I'd imagine it's realistic. I would have chosen a different title for the book because Alice is nowhere near silent, but I did enjoy the read. The end is surprising.
