The Wedding Planner's Daughter

by Coleen Paratore
Hennepin County Library audioCDs 4.25 hours
read by Sina Nielsen
genre: YA realistic fiction

Cute little story about Willafred Havisham (her mother is Stella, and she has "Great Expectations" for her daughter) and her dream for getting a father. Her birth father perished the day after his perfect wedding to Stella. Stella goes into business planning perfect weddings for others, but refuses to ever fall in love again.

Willa is a nice character, but she seems very young (closer to sixth grade than eighth). The literary quotations are nice. It's just a sweet, simple story.
