About the Book:
On what should be the happiest day of her life, Rebecca Ross is panic stricken. Rebecca has just wed Craig Jacobs, but she realizes she put more thought into choosing her florist than she did in choosing the man she’s just pledged to love for the rest of her life.
Before Craig, Rebecca, a talented Long Island girl, dreamed of following in her grandmother’s footsteps with an acting career. Unfortunately, she was cut down to size by years of disappointment, and by her first love—a Hollywood director. She returned to Long Island a lost and broken woman, and ended up in the last place she ever wanted: her old bedroom at her parents’ house.
But Rebecca’s mother, an overzealous convert to Judaism, has a long held dream too: marry off her three daughters to Jewish men. So no one is more thrilled than her when Rebecca meets and marries bon vivant Craig Jacobs, the man who has won over the whole family. Too bad they’re all about to discover that underneath his charismatic shell, this Prince Charming is anything but!
This unputdownable romantic comedy will amuse and enthrall you from angst-ridden start to glorious finish.

My Review:
Bonnie Trachtenberg is T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D! WOW! LOVED this one! This is a story that will have you smiling, frowning and everything in between!
Rebecca. Now that’s a girl I can relate with. Trying to please others while still reaching for your dream. In the end, she had to settle for Craig. Not the man of her dreams, but someone who her mama is happy she married. But, Rebecca isn’t happy. She just married a man she knew next to nothing about. He sleep walks,he turns their honey moon in to a disaster…..and, well, Rebecca wonders if it will cause too much scandalous talk if she files for a divorce.
From the alter, to Tuscany, to locked up, this novel will have you laughing. It brings out quirky, witty characters quickly become your friends and whisks you away to one heck of a honey moon in Tuscany. I loved all the characters, including the ghost that scares the wits out of Rebecca. DEFINITELY highly recommend with 5 Books and two thumbs up! I can’t wait to see what Ms. Trachtenberg has in store next for her new found fans!
