      Book Overview

      Seventeen weddings. Six months. Only the strong survive. Joy Silverman and her boyfriend, Gabriel Winslow, seem perfect for each other. Living together in New York City, they have everything they want and everything in common--most important, that neither one wants to get married. Ever. But when Joy finds herself obligated to attend seventeen weddings in six months (including those of her father, mother, younger brother, and five of her closest girlfriends), the couple is forced to take a new look at why they're so opposed to marriage when the rest of the world can't wait to walk down the aisle. As the season heats up and the pressure mounts, Joy must confront what it means -- and what it costs -- to be true to one's self. A witty, wicked comedy of manners in the satirical tradition of Jane Austen and Evelyn Waugh, Wedding Season is an intelligent, laugh-out-loud funny examination of friendship, faith, integrity, and the ideas and institutions that bind us together, shape our lives, and define who we are. "If Jane Austen and Candace Bushnell were to meet for a long drink in a downtown bar, the delightful result might be a contemporary comedy of manners with a decidedly old-fashioned feel. Darcy Cosper has given us just that: a sweet and sharply funny concoction that will have bridesmaids everywhere nodding their heads in recognition." -- Dani Shapiro, author of Family History "Wonderful.... Wedding Season is social comedy on a grand scale. A hilarious and urbane primer on getting hitched-or not-in the twenty-first century." -- Gary Shteyngart, author of The Russian Debutante's Handbook This description may be from another edition of this product.

      Not Chick Lit!! Awesome!

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I enjoyed this book. I found it to be something different than the "and everyone lives happily ever after" formula that so many novels stick to these days. (Nor does everyone die of misery at the end. If you want details of the story, read other reviews!) This is in no way "chick lit," at least in my opinion, and if you want a light fluffy vapid read to get ideas for your wedding, don't bother with this. I'm a little...

      Well defined issues--well developed characters

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I'm glad I bought this book before reading the reviews here. Wedding Season has smooth, clean writing and a variety of characters that make the story both realistic and entertaining. If all chick lit were so intelligent, the entire genre would have a better reputation.

      Edgy and crisp

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I'm pretty surprised at all the vitriol posted here. Perhaps the cover led some readers to expect a different kind of book--more of a "beach" read, wrapped up with a neat bow. Instead, bless her, Darcy Cosper delivers Joy Silverman, a protagonist who runs the most amazing business (I'm jealous) and who insists on thinking for herself, even when the cost is high. And it is high indeed: Joy, whose friends are getting married...

      Wedding Season

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I'm actually shocked that this book got such terrible reviews from readers. I found the protagonist, Joy to be a very relatable character and one that you can empathize with, and one who you root for throughout the book, despite the fact that you'll probably disagree with her a lot. Of all the chick-lits I've read over the summer, I found this one to be the most enjoyable. The characters were someone cliched but still colorful...

      A sparkling and astringent social comedy

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I feel like some of the reviewers on this board, misled by the book's cotton-candy packaging, might have bought Wedding Season expecting the typical chick-lit froth. In fact, Darcy Cosper's book is a far more sophisticated enterprise. I'd describe it as great, pointed social satire, with more than a splash of wit and verve. There's a lot of fine New York social portraiture, and vivid character sketches: one pal is described...
