About this ebook
A teen tries to keep a series of unlucky events from ruining her sister’s wedding in this charming, “romantic comedy of errors” (Publishers Weekly) by New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson.
Charlie Grant’s older sister is getting married this weekend, and Charlie can’t wait—for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Unfortunately, it will also be the last time—at least at their childhood home. Their parents have sold the house.
But that’s all the more reason to have one last perfect weekend with the whole family together. If Charlie pushes aside concerns like what college to attend and reuniting with her longtime crush Jesse Foster, she can focus on getting her mom to pay attention to the real Grants—instead of the version she draws for her popular comic strip—and making sure the house is full of jokes and games and laughs.
The only problem? The wedding is shaping up to be absolute disaster.
There’s the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, an alarm that won’t stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge. There are the relatives who aren’t speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. Not to mention the missing justice of the peace. The guests who are all crazy. And the wedding planner’s nephew who is distractingly…cute.
Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she’ll realize that if you keep everything like it was in the past, you’ll miss out on the future.

Coming from a large family myself (8 children), I really loved and appreciated the family dynamic in this! I loved the way you depicted everyone having flaws that sometimes we're blind to until we get older and how members of the same family can be wildly different while still having so much in common. And I totally understand the ignoring everyone else when the whole family's around, especially when it's a big family!

First time reading this author and won’t be the last! This was such a beautiful, touching, hilarious and heartwarming story about a young girls realization that she may have been seeing her family through rose coloured glasses! The dynamic and banter between the siblings was perfection and I really enjoyed seeing Charlie come into her own. The shenanigans throughout the wedding weekend had me laughing out loud. I truly enjoyed this family and felt like they were the family we all wished we had growing up, so I definitely identified with Charlie’s feelings. This was an awesome, quirky, funny story with some real depth to it and I definitely recommend it!
