The Harrington sisters have never gotten along. Sara is a Type-A, career-focused event planner, and her younger sister Mariel is the opposite: bohemian, semi-employed, and recently engaged. When Sara's mother lures her back to Connecticut under false pretenses, she is perturbed to discover Mariel waiting for her, eager to reconcile their relationship — and get some help with the final arrangements before her big day. The two sisters haven't spoken since the night Sara realized something was going on between Mariel and Sara's boyfriend, Carter Pryce. And now Mariel is about to marry Carter, the man she stole from Sara, the man Sara still loves.
When Mariel asks Sara to stand in for a bridesmaid who has to cancel at the last minute, Sara realizes it's the perfect cover to unravel the nuptials and win Carter back. Sara begins to slowly sabotage Mariel's picture-perfect wedding, but when she crosses paths with David Cole, he challenges her self-image as the jilted second-fiddle to her spotlight-stealing sister. Will Sara realize what a bridesmaid-zilla she's become in time to fix the damage before Mariel's big day?
Funny, soulful, and as sweet as buttercream, The Wedding Thief is the perfect summer read.

After Sara caught her sister, Mariel, sneaking around with Sara's boyfriend, Carter, she thought they'd never speak again. Now she can't believe that Mariel and Carter are happily engaged?and Mariel wants Sara to be a bridesmaid. Sara accepts, if only to sabotage the wedding more easily. A seasoned event planner, Sara sees her first opportunity to use her talents for the wrong reasons. As she starts visiting florists, caterers, and photographers, and her plan to ruin the wedding deepens, she realizes just how far she's willing to go to hurt her once-beloved sister. Add another sprinkle of family drama, a baked-goods theft ring, and a small art-heist caper, and you've got a rom-com farce reminiscent of Becky Bloomwood's stickiest situations. Fans of Sophie Kinsella will note the similarities between Sara and the Shopaholic series heroine?stubborn but ultimately willing to do the right thing. Simses' (The Rules of Love & Grammar, 2016) charming exploration of family roles and shared history is a delightful piece of summer escapism.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
