Always a Bridesmaid

It’s time we focused on the bridesmaids and what they go through in the run up to the wedding day. They have as much responsibility as the best man, and just like the bride, can be a bag of nerves as they get everything organised while trying to look their best as well.

Bridesmaids by Jane Costello is the story of Evie, bridesmaid to her best friend, Grace. Between the ‘chicken fillet’ boob-enhancers she conceals in her chest (spotted by Jack, the most ruggedly handsome man Evie has ever laid eyes on) and dealing with her relationship anxieties, Evie’s greatest challenge is to deliver the bride at the start-line on time.

Bridesmaids (Pocket Books, £6.99) will be available to buy from 2nd June 2008. We are giving five lucky readers a copy each of Bridesmaids.

For your chance to win, tick the box marked ‘Bridesmaids’ on the giveaway form. Closing date: 24 July 2008.
