genre: chick lit
recap: {back cover} when her ex-boyfriend, trip, gets engaged to hollywood's latest it girl, manhattan attorney brooke miller plans to attend the wedding. who says a modern girl can't stay friends with her ex? besides, brooke's got her sexy scottish fiance, douglas, to take as her date. okay, so maybe he's not exactly her fiance, but they're living together in his apartment, so she'll be getting the ring any minute, right? wrong.
after a fight leaves her without a boyfriend (much less a fiance) just days before the wedding, brooke faces the ultimate humiliation of attending her ex-boyfriend's nuptials alone. desperate to find a replacement to fill douglas's kilt, brooke concocts an outrageous plan to survive the wedding and win the man of her dreams, all with her dignity ever-so-slightly intact.
review: pretty good. i was surprised to learn this was brenda janowitz's first book because i thought i had read other red dress ink books by her, but i guess not. all took place in the span of two weeks, but didn't really drag in detail at all. very quick read. predictable, of course, that she ended up with jack, and that she had someone pretend to be scottish, and hilarity ensued, but still funny and enjoyable.
