'A brilliant contemporary novel' – Colm Tóibín 'I am fully in awe of Dolan's talent' – Douglas Stuart 'I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed it' – Marian Keyes 'Dazzling. Not a word is out of place' – Katherine Heiny

Meet Celine and Luke. To all intents and purposes, the happy couple.

But Celine's more interested in playing the piano, and Luke's a serial cheater.

As their big day approaches, the complicated lives of the wedding party begin to unravel. A fed-up bridesmaid, a lovesick best man, guests and family members all find themselves searching for their own happily ever afters.

From the author of Exciting Times, this is a sparkling ensemble novel about love and marriage, fidelity and betrayal.
