218. Amanda's Wedding (Jenny Colgan)

Synopsis from Amazon:
Londoners Mel and Fran, both 20-something, are horrified to learn that the third member of their childhood trio, Amanda (an uppity, shallow brat who's burned them one too many times) has landed Fraser McConald, a Scottish lord, as her fiance. Compounding their annoyance is the fact that back in their university days, Mel, who serves as narrator, had a huge crush on Fraser. Mel is also reeling because her loutish, aspiring rock-star beau, Alex, who left her 10 months ago to find himself in America, has returned to her doorstep in full force. Further complicating matters is Nicholas, a clueless, eight-feet tall accountant whose advances she sometimes succumbs to when very drunk. Fraser's charming brother, Angus, rightly suspects that Amanda only wants Fraser for the Town & Country cachet of his crumbling castle, and he enlists the aid of Mel and Fran to sabotage the nuptials. In any romantic comedy, it's a given that the lead heroine will get a man; the question here is which man?

My rating: 3 stars
