One reluctant photographer. One high society wedding. And a whole lot of chaos.

‘Abigail Mann is at her absolute best . . . she skillfully uses comedy alongside other more serious topics’

Holly McCulloch

‘An absolute delight of a book! Really fun and witty, with all the scandal of my favourite reality TV show’ Olivia Beirne

‘Packed with humour and wonderfully brilliant characters, this is Abigail Mann at her very best’ Hannah Tovey

‘Great fun, genuinely laugh out loud and a gorgeous celebration of friendship’ Emily Kerr

‘Yet another hilarious and touching book from Abigail Mann, with a cast of great and terrible characters and a setting full of Succession-esque glamour and drama’

Lex Croucher

Poppy got married young. Too young in fact, and she put her dreams aside for love. Fast-forward eight years(ish) and now it’s time to reclaim her life and first love – photography.

 

What better way to celebrate her new-found freedom than a blissful week alone on an island with just her camera for company. Until her best friend has a catastrophe with the high-profile wedding she’s planning and begs Poppy to help. After all, she owes her.

 

Poppy doesn’t expect to recognise the groom as an old friend, nor for the bride to get cold feet but what’s a wedding without a little drama. And as the wedding week – yes, week – gets underway, Poppy might find happiness again, just not in the way she expected.

If you love Mhairi McFarlane, Marian Keyes and Beth O’Leary, you will love Abigail Mann.

About the author

Abigail is a comedy writer living in London and surviving on a diet of three-shot coffee, bourbons, and vegetarian sausage rolls. She was born and brought up in Norfolk, which she says is to blame for the sardonic humour that runs through her novels. Abigail was the runner-up in 2019's Comedy Women in Print award for her first novel, The Lonely Fajita. She is also the author of fish-out-of-water comedies The Sister Surprise and The Wedding Crasher.
