Millie and the American Wedding - Anna Bell (2012)

One wedding, one ex-boyfriend and seven bridesmaids - it's going to be the craziest wedding ever. Millie is happily living in London when unexpectedly she gets invited to the wedding of her long-lost friend Kristen and her one-night stand Joel. Millie has no intention whatsoever of being part of this wedding until she gets a call from the bride herself asking Millie to be her seventh bridesmaid. To attend the wedding, Millie has to fly to New York City which holds the secrets of her ugly past and forces her to face up to her ex-boyfriend Rob. As if this is not enough to make the wedding a dreadful experience, she has to put up with snotty maid-of-honour Collette who is determined to put Millie through hell. When I got my hands on this novel I couldn't wait to read it but I felt let down by the not-so perfect editing. The charm which was created in the first few pages failed to be sustained throughout.

Chicklit Club reviewer Anna Bell is set to release her debut novel Millie and the American Wedding. The synopsis says: "Millie accidentally agrees to be bridesmaid at her long-lost friend Kristen's American wedding. Which to an outsider doesn't seem too bad; the wedding is in New York and comes complete with bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner and all those American traditions seen in the movies. But then you add to the equation that she's slept with the groom, and her ex-boyfriend (the only love of her life to date) is going to be the best man. And not only is he best man, but he's already married, and she's going to the wedding single. Poor Millie. As Kristen gets ready for the best day of her life, Millie gears up for the worst week of hers." Bell lives in England and writes weekly column The Secret Dreamworld of An Aspiring Author for Novelicious.
