Honeymoon (Hardcover, American ed.)

There was the dusty empty road and the occasional glimpse of turquoise sea. There were white concrete hamlets with red tin Coca-Cola signs and Spanish-style churches.

And there was Alex.

How did I, I wondered, as I drove down the coast of Mexico with the wind in my hair and the man I didn't marry, how did I end up driving down the coast of Mexico with the wind in my hair and the man I didn't marry? How did that happen? Exactly? Remind me.

If Honeymoon were an old movie it would be His Girl Friday. If it were a movie today it would be My Best Friend's Wedding. A great old-fashioned romantic comedy meets the hip, fresh version of it in this wonderful debut by the hot British writer Amy Jenkins.

Something incredible happens to Honey on her wedding night. She walks out onto the balcony of her New York hotel suite--the warmth of the night, the complimentary champagne, the gloriously illuminated skyline--it is all so utterly perfect. She turns and there, standing on the neighboring bridal suite balcony, is the love of her life--the man she spent only one night with seven years ago but whom she has never seen again. Until now. On her honeymoon.

Weaving four people, two couples, two honeymoons, and one true love, Honeymoon is a heart-wrenching and hilarious debut novel.
