Summer isn't going as expected for 14-year-old Willa. Her mom's pregnant; her beloved church minister is moving away; and she doesn't get the part she wanted in a theater production. Set in idyllic Cape Cod with colorful, though sometimes stock characters, this third title in the Wedding Planner's Daughter series explores realistic issues of friendship and family, including Willa's growing appreciation for her stepfather Sam and a sympathetic portrayal of her mother's grief after a miscarriage. Willa's spirited, engaging first person narrative is abundantly sprinkled with literary allusions and quotes from titles collected in an appended booklist. Grades 6-9
