Enough to: be the \"best woman\" at his wedding; leave behind her hard-won New York life, brilliant best friends, and drag brunches for Boca Raton, Florida; entertain the uptight bride-to-be and her vicious cronies; try (and fail) to dodge the hometown hookup buddy she can't resist; and navigate the tricky dynamics with her divorced parents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShe's not \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e nervous. Her family stood by her when she came out as a woman a few years ago. And it's just one week in Florida--a week of old memories and sisterly duties that will force Julia to confront the tensions that have been bubbling beneath the surface of her closest relationships. No big deal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen it turns out that Kim Cameron, the gorgeous, self-assured girl that she crushed on hard in high school, is the maid of honor, Julia panics. She tells a teensy little lie to win Kim's favor--a lie that snowballs out of control and threatens to undermine the blossoming attraction between them and complicate an already challenging relationship with her family. Using her wit, charm, and a suitcase full of couture \"borrowed\" from a pop star, Julia just might survive the horde of clone-like bridesmaids, go-kart racing bachelor parties, and alcohol-fueled speeches. But she won't make it out unscathed. As best woman, she's making the worst decisions of her life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn utterly contemporary send-up of \u003ci\u003eMy Best Friend's Wedding \u003c\/i\u003eand a riotous coming-of-age novel, \u003ci\u003e Best Woman \u003c\/i\u003eis rife with crackling wit and devastating poignancy and announces Rose Dommu as an exciting voice in fiction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ballantine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780593975688\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2025 pg. 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rose Dommu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51445652193461,"sku":"9780593975688","price":24.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_fd968703-a404-4168-b74f-e413245d3776.jpg?v=1753799368","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/best-woman-9780593975688","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
