After enduring a chaotic childhood, Emily McKellips yearns for a drama-free life, complete with a white picket fence. Her dreams are about to come true: She has a stellar career, a gorgeous house, and a fiance any woman would die for. But as friends and family arrive in picturesque Valentine, Vermont, for her wedding, an uninvited guest shows up.

Ryan is Emily's first husband from a disastrous starter marriage. They wed on a whim, only to discover that combustible chemistry couldn't ensure a happily ever after. But Ryan is no longer the headstrong boy she left behind. He's now a successful film producer who just happens to be scouting a resort in Valentine with his adorable retriever in tow.

As the bridesmaids revolt and the mothers of the bride and groom do battle, Emily is surprised to discover new sides of both her ex and her fiance. She thought she had life and love all figured out, but the next seven days might change her mind-and her heart.

From Booklist:

*Starred Review* It is a week before Emily McKellips’ wedding, and everything is perfect. She’s marrying the perfect man: sexy, sweet, supportive Grant Cardin. Her in-laws can’t wait to welcome Emily into their perfect family. And there couldn’t be a more perfectly romantic setting for a wedding than Valentine, Vermont. But once Emily and Grant check in at the resort, everything starts to unravel. In between trying to keep the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom from declaring war on each other, Emily discovers that her ex-husband, Ryan Lassiter, just happens to be in Valentine. Ryan claims he is scouting locations for his next big horror flick, but Emily suspects her best friend and former stepsister, Summer, may have scripted his appearance. As the big day approaches, Emily finds herself constantly rethinking the wedding. Might she still be in crazy love with Ryan? Kendrick proves she is the leader of the pack when it comes to fashioning cheekily clever love stories, and her latest will delight readers with its delectably acerbic wit and charmingly complex characters. --John Charles
