A family wedding with a houseful of complications

Charlie Grant hopes her sister’s wedding will bring all four older siblings together for one last weekend in the family home, which their parents have sold. Instead, a string of wedding-day problems—from a missing tuxedo to relatives at odds—complicates her plans. Alongside the practical chaos, Charlie is weighing college, reconnecting with a longtime crush, and wanting her mother to see the real family behind her comic strip. The setup brings wedding comedy together with questions of family change: how well Charlie knows the people closest to her, and what it means to move beyond a cherished past.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in contemporary young adult fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy sibling and family relationships set against the complications of a wedding.
  • Those looking for a story that combines romantic-comedy elements with questions about change and the future.

Book overview

Now with a brand-new look!

For the first printing only! This paperback features sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts.

A teen tries to keep a series of unlucky events from ruining her sister's wedding in this charming, "romantic comedy of errors" (Publishers Weekly) by New York Times bestselling author Morgan Matson.

Charlie Grant's older sister is getting married this weekend, and Charlie can't wait--for the first time in years, all four of her older siblings will be under one roof. Unfortunately, it will also be the last time--at least at their childhood home. Their parents have sold the house.

But that's all the more reason to have one last perfect weekend with the whole family together. If Charlie pushes aside concerns like what college to attend and reuniting with her longtime crush Jesse Foster, she can focus on getting her mom to pay attention to the real Grants--instead of the version she draws for her popular comic strip--and making sure the house is full of jokes and games and laughs.

The only problem? The wedding is shaping up to be absolute disaster.

There's the unexpected dog with a penchant for howling, an alarm that won't stop going off, and a papergirl with a grudge. There are the relatives who aren't speaking, the (awful) girl her favorite brother brought home unannounced, and a missing tuxedo. Not to mention the missing justice of the peace. The guests who are all crazy. And the wedding planner's nephew who is distractingly...cute.

Over the course of three ridiculously chaotic days, Charlie will learn more than she ever expected about the family she thought she knew by heart. And she'll realize that if you keep everything like it was in the past, you'll miss out on the future.
