From bestselling author Holly Chamberlin comes a smart, clever novel about love, marriage, and growing up--not necessarily in that order... Anna Traulsen, of Anna's Occasions, an elite Boston event planning company, has never been impetuous. At thirty-seven, she's never had a one-night stand, crammed for an exam, or made an extravagant purchase. Now she's engaged and preparing for an occasion of her own. But another event just might trump her wedding, one that she and her future husband weren't expecting: Anna is pregnant. From her dress fitting to the timing of the honeymoon, for Anna, one question quickly leads to another--about work, the future--and why she finds herself thinking so much about her colleague, Jack, a tousled, talented artist who is the polar opposite of her comfortingly conventional fianc . As Anna searches for answers among her friends, she may ultimately discover there's only one place she'll find the truth: in her own heart--and that no matter what she decides, she'll never be the same...

I enjoyed the book. It falls into the category of "chick lit" for me - if you like that genre, you'll probably enjoy this book. The ending is a little implausible but if you need something to read on your lunch hour and before you go to sleep at night, this is a good choice. I especially liked that the heroine wasn't still in her 20s, as is the case in many books of this type.
Get over the typos!

Don't listen to the gotcha-gang...these people apparently have nothing better to do than count typos! This book is a good read, enjoyable and yes, funny. I saw the typos too, but these things happen -- and they're only important to small minds. Buy the book and enjoy!

I actually really like this book. It is a fun, light read. However, I can't believe all of the typos...By page 80, I counted five! I know people make mistakes, but I have never read a book with so many typos in it. It almost took away from the plot.
