Hysterical!!

This book was excellent; I literally laughed out loud repeatedly. What a treat. If you want some fun, enjoyable reading, read this one.

One of the best

This is seriously one of the best books I have read. The main character. Zadie, just has a really funny personality and her take on things is hilarious. I tend to judge a book on how many times I laugh out loud and how many times my jaw literally drops. I lost count while reading this one. I have to say, very good character developement too, it helps when you can identify with at least the main character but I found myself being able to put myself in the supporting characters shoes too. Great book!

Irresistable!

Zadie is a crazy, scattered, sarcastic teacher whom was recently jilted at the alter by her Soap Star fiance. Helen, Zadie's cousin, is a 28 year old virgin, has never has been drunk, remembers birthdays and is planning the perfect wedding to the perfect man, Grey whom happens to be Zadie's best friend. Of course, Helen is having the perfect bachelorette/bridal shower and Zadie is in charge of getting Helen to "loosen up" at Grey's request. The bachelorette party goes from perfect doing the downward dog at yoga to perfect hell with Helen in a blue strap-on dancing topless at Deep. Zadie knows she's IN deep with Grey and doesn't know what to do. Does what happen at the bachelorette party STAY at the bachelorette party or does she break her silence and clue her best friend in on perfect Helen's imperfect party? This novel is non-stop laughs, but fair warning, if you are a prude you may want to skip the leg press scene. ;)

FUN, FUN, FUN

This book was by far the most fun book I have ever read. Loved the characters and they were so easy to relate to. Can't wait for the next book......

A hysterical & raunchy ride with the wedding party from hell

"The Bachelorette Party" is one of the most hysterical novels to come along in awhile. Starting out slow, it builds momentum once the actual bachelorette festivities get into high gear. And once the cocktails start flowing, you won't be able to put the book down! Zadie is fresh from getting left at the altar by her soap star on the rise fiance, she has sworn off men. Well, except for Trevor, the nubile 19 year old model that is in her sixth period class, whom she fantasizes about. Best friend Grey is a successful entertainment lawyer. They do just about everything together; she even introduced him to his fiance - her cousin, Helen. Helen is perfect, and professes at 28 to still be a virgin. Much to Zadie's consternation, she is suddenly stuck in wedding party hell for the cousin she despises, and already mourning the loss of her best friend. Grey is even trying to hook Zadie up with his best friend Mike. Helen and Zadie have never been friends. Helen is judgmental and condescending, and apparently pretty conceited. Of course, underneath all that is a lot of insecurity, particularly and underlying jealousy of the friendship that Zadie and Grey share. Grey asks her to make sure Helen has a good time at her bachelorette party. Not an easy task for Zadie, since the agenda is chock full of the most boring crap in the world. And then come the cocktails. Helen proves the old adage that a little alcohol can go a long way. She gets plastered, and really lets loose. From a rooftop bar and some seedy nightclubs, to a gay strip club and porn store, Helen manages to shock even Zadie with her behavior. With the help of Helen's former college roommate, Zadie learns a lot about Helen. When she finds Helen in some compromising situations, she is torn as to whether to tell Grey that the woman he is marrying is not the innocent she is portraying herself to be, all the while kicking herself for giving into her own temptations. Will she tell Grey or will Helen fess up to her misdeeds? Will Grey dump Helen? Will the wedding from hell go on as scheduled? Will Zadie succumb to her passion for young Trevor? You have to wait until the end to find out.
