When life hands you lemons, make lemonade—or, in Piper Brody’s case, make a Craigslist ad offering yourself up as a hired bridesmaid! A hilarious, touching, coming-of-age novel from debut author Anne Wagener.Piper is a recent college grad who decides to sell her body on Craigslist—as a hired bridesmaid. Her airport bookseller job just isn’t bringing home the turkey bacon, and no one’s going to pay her to analyze Milton’s poetry. Turns out, having an English literature degree from an upstanding university isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Piper’s Craigslist endeavor soon picks up steam, netting her clients such as Southern peach Stacey, whose interracial marriage causes a family feud, and Alex, a bride-to-be who’s so type A she’s type A-plus. Between fighting off matching T-shirt–wearing teams of “bustle bitches” at gown sales and learning more about fondant than the Cake Boss, Piper falls for Charlie Bell, the brother of a client. A fellow aspiring writer, Charlie’s the only person recently who’s encouraged Piper to follow her dreams. Not to mention, he’s pretty darn cute. But when Charlie turns out to be the groom in one of her gigs—and set to marry the craziest bridezilla of them all—Piper must band together with her newfound friends and stop Charlie from making the biggest mistake of his life.

Fun and Light and Lovely By Book Gannet This was an enjoyable, fun tale of a summer in the life of Piper Brady, an English graduate who’s struggling to match her degree up with real life. She knows the meaning of big and obscure words, can argue the merits of existentialism against postmodernism, but since that doesn’t pay the bills she finds herself working for a Mountain-Dew breathed tyrant in an airport bookshop. Which doesn’t really pay the bills either.Luckily for Piper, no matter how mundane and crushing her everyday life is, she’s also blessed with an awesome best friend, Lin, who provides hugs, support and imaginative conversations that make no sense to anyone but them. That same imagination is how Piper ends up advertising her services on Craigslist. And so begins a round of weird, wonderful, fun and rather awful weddings involving new friends, new experiences, an enemy or two and even a little bit of love.I really enjoyed this book. Piper is a likable character, she’s fun and funny, prone to wild flights of imagination that help her get through the day. She’s also a little insecure, has no faith in her abilities as a writer, has an enfeebled car named Beowulf: the Road Warrior and is actually a really nice person. Her experiences from bad jobs to awful dates and of course the brides and weddings range from funny to cringe-worthy and even a little emotional. I loved reading about her.The other characters are wonderful too, from amazing Lin to Alex the crazy/beautiful new friend, not to mention lovely Charlie, who is perfect for Piper but also too good a man for his own good. This book made me smile a lot, laugh a fair bit and even sniffle back a few tears – when I wasn’t raging at certain characters. It’s not all about weddings either – mostly it’s about Piper, just Piper going through her daily life, letting her imagination run free while she in turn hides from her dreams.It’s light, lovely and fun and a perfect summer read. If you’re in love with words and have the sort of imagination that will run wild if left unchecked for too long, you’ll likely enjoy this. If you like weddings, then there’s plenty to enjoy here too. Mostly read this if you enjoy good characters finding friends and living life the best way they can. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from this author.(I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

Cute Concept By Lydia M I liked the concept of the story and the personality of Piper and how she sympathized with her brides even if they were crazy. I also really liked the friends she made along the way. However, I get tired of chick lit with the token gay best friend and the endless commentary and cliché actions of the token gay best friend. I felt like that added nothing to the story, and it really detracted from all the good life lessons Piper was supposed to be learning. It dropped my review from 4 to 3 stars because I didn't find that part of the story original or even a creative take on an over-used sub-plot. I also got really tired of the endless commentary on Christian parents and how they treat their children. Although at least the author decided to extend that opinion to Hindi and Muslim parents, as well. That dropped it down to 2 stars for me. I get so tired of books painting all people devout in their faith with the same negative broad brush. I really could have liked this book a lot more if the author hadn't included all the commentary on religion.There is a little language in this book, but there isn't any sex. However, the characters do talk about it ALOT.

When I read the description for Borrow-A-Bridesmaid, I was instantly interested. I have been in SIX weddings myself and will be in a seventh next summer, so I definitely wanted to read about someone who made a career out of it!This is a picture of me and my brides!This is a picture of me and my brides!I was given this book in exchange for an honest review. Main character, Piper, works in an airport selling books. It's not exactly what she dreamed of after majoring in English in college and having intellectual, academic discussions all day. She is struggling financially, which is why she decides to rent herself out as a bridesmaid. First, Piper fills in for an injured cousin for an OCD musician's wedding. She meets the bride's brother, Charlie, who also has literary aspirations beyond his work as a barista. They have an instant chemistry and connection, but then he leaves unexpectedly to go back to California. Nursing her broken hear, Piper becomes a bridesmaid to perfectly-put-together, successful Alex. Piper's next bride is Stacey, who is marrying a Hindu man and having two ceremonies and needs a bridesmaid for one of them. Then, bride number one, Susan, calls Piper and tells her she has a job for her. Piper is surprised to find herself a bridesmaid for hire in a wedding to her love connection, Charlie. Susan asks Piper to be undercover and figure out why he is marrying the woman he is marrying. Oh boy!I liked Piper and reading about all the weddings she was in was hysterical. All of her brides were so different with such differing personalities and tastes. Piper had to navigate it all with a smile. I love the tale of going to a sample sale and trying to find the perfect dress. I also liked the book's focus on the gap between college and a job that actually relates to your career. Sadly, many people nowadays end up taking a job just to pay the bills even though their passions and college studies were something totally different. Piper's love connection with Charlie was so sweet and enjoyable to read about. They were such a perfect match and I wanted them to end up together! I also liked the secondary characters and Piper's hilarious adventures unrelated to her bridal work.This book caught my interest right away and never lost it. I felt invested in Piper's life and future and was very interested in the secondary characters. I liked that it covered so many different aspects of Piper's life, while there was still one main plot, there were a lot of other things going on, too. It was very funny and I really had no complaints about it! I would certainly recommend this book as a fun, chick lit read! I hope to see more from this author in the future!
