Cricket's on a self-imposed break from her longtime boyfriend, but she's picked a bad week to sort out her love life. For one thing, her mother's romance is taking center stage--after jilting two previous fianc s, her mom is finally marrying Dan Jax, whom Cricket loves. And as wedding attendees arrive for a week of festivities at a guesthouse, Cricket discovers the guesthouse's hippie owners have a sweet and sexy son--Ash--who Cricket can't help being drawn to despite her current romantic predicament.

Even the dogs--Cricket's old, ill Jupiter and Dan's young, lively Cruiser--seem to be declaring war. While Cricket fears that Dan is in danger of becoming ditched husband-to-be number three, she's also alarmed by her own desires. Because even though her boyfriend looms large in her mind, Ash is right in front of her..., A week of her mother's wedding chaos brings a new boy and numerous other complications into Cricket's life in this funny and romantic novel from Printz Honor medal winner and National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti.
