I just love novels about weddings. And families. And I especially love novels about weddings and messed up families, and A Wedding in Great Neck certainly fits the bill. The novel begins on the morning of "the big day" and introduces the readers to the Silverstein family. The beautiful spoiled bride Angelica, her separated and somewhat dowdy sister Gretchen, her sensitive gay brother Caleb, and her arrogant oldest brother Teddy. Add to that the recovering alcoholic father that hasn't been seen for awhile, the socialite mother, the spunky grandmother, and Gretchen's troubled teen twins as well as her soon-to-be ex, and you can see where this is heading. The wedding is being held on Angelica's mother's estate where everything is picture perfect...but only on the outside of course. Just wait until you see what's happening on the inside...Karen
