How to Ruin a Wedding

By Elba Luz

"How to Ruin a Weddingis the kind of book that makes you laugh so hard you snort in public, and then you have to pretend you were coughing. Lucy is my new favorite human, and I would absolutely hire her to ruin any wedding." --Mindy Kaling

When a professional wedding crasher storms the wrong party, an irresistibly charming man enlists her services for a job that's about to give her outlook on love a run for its money.

Lucy Delgado knows all about things that don't work out. Between two failed marriages and losing her job, "meant to be" doesn't seem to mean much anymore. And watching her sister's marriage deteriorate isn't convincing Lucy otherwise.

Desperate for money and disillusioned by love, she turns her nothing-left-to-lose attitude into action as a professional wedding saboteur. Lucy knows how to play any part--old lover, nosy relative, wise stranger--to save brides and grooms from making the same mistakes she did.

Until she crashes the wrong ceremony.

For Anders Kennedy, Lucy's timing couldn't be better. She's exactly what he needs to derail his own sister's upcoming nuptials by posing as Anders's new girlfriend so she can slip into the family circle and sabotage from within. And Anders has the kind of money Lucy can't afford to turn down.

As they fake-date their way through family celebrations, high jinks, and secrets, Lucy and Anders are forced to confront their cynicism about marriage. Their schemes were meant for the greater good, but what if love really does conquer all?

Fascinating novel

8/12/27 - 8/18/26 How To Ruin A Wedding by Elba Luz This was a fascinating read in a different type genre for me, whereas, the character is hired to destroy the fairytale weddings making or breaking the lines between love and obligation or maybe is it desperation? I don’t know if in reality there are such people for hire, but I wonder or have to wonder how many would have raised their hands if they had wished someone had stopped their weddings long time ago? I think things are always shiny and bright but soon after the glow wears off and married life settles in and couples are “this is not what I signed up for…” But this story has the hired bing a misfit that bungles things, has some bad luck along the way, and falls for the person who hires her. A no no in this business. But her sister and others manage to show her she needs to let the stress go and enjoy the now and look to the future. Hopefully happily ever after.,,
