About the book:


Claire Martin's life is perfect, or at least she tells herself it is. She owns a successful clothing boutique, has a steady, dependable boyfriend, and a beautiful grown daughter who is about to be married. Sure, Claire's husband of twenty years left her for a younger woman four years ago, but that is all in the past. Now, Claire is looking forward to her daughter's Bahama wedding and spending a week in paradise. The only thing Claire dreads is her ex-husband and his wife will also be on the island. Claire is determined to make the best of it, though. What Claire doesn't realize is ignoring her ex-husband for the week is going to be impossible. 

James Martin's life is a mess. His wife of less than four years has made him the most miserable man on earth and now they are in the middle of a messy divorce. He's happy that he can forget her for a week as he goes off to the Bahamas to attend his lovely daughter's wedding. Jim is embarrassed to admit to his daughter and his ex-wife, Claire, that he made the biggest mistake of his life when he left her for another woman, so he makes up a story as to why his new wife didn't come along. When he and Claire are unexpectedly forced upon each other, Jim soon realizes what he's lost and he begins to wonder if he can find a way back into Claire's heart. 

What I Thought:


Destination Wedding is the definition of a fabulous summer book. The main character, Claire, is a lovable woman who is easy to fall in love with and root for at the same time. She escapes to the Bahamas where her and her ex-husband, James, are seeing their daughter marry the man of her dreams. 

With both Claire and James in relationships with other people, a series of almost disasters seem to occur one after the other. I found myself laughing and rooting for more of these unpredictable moments that seemed to bring the entire wedding party together.

Destination Wedding is an excellently written novel and I highly recommend all of my readers to dive head first into this perfect summer read. Toss it in your pool or beach bag, pour yourself an ice cold drink, and get lost with Claire and James in the Bahamas.
