Melissa Senate Libri

Between the reality of being six weeks pregnant by a guy she's dated for two months and the fantasy of pushing a baby stroller down Columbus Avenue with a wedding ring on her finger were a lot of possibilities for twenty-nine-year-old Manhattan publishing peon Sarah Solomon. Will the baby's father run screaming for the nearest subway...or pop the question? "He's going to deny they ever had sex!" bets cynical sister Ally, an uptown lawyer who catches her "perfect" husband cheating...and happily retaliates on FindAMate.com. "He might surprise everyone and propose," offers half sister Zoe, a celebrated relationship guru who critiques dates for a living but would have to rate her own love life a big fat zero. "Huh?" asks their clueless father, too busy planning his society wedding to trophy wife #3 to notice what's up with his daughters. Until Sarah, Ally and Zoe find themselves suddenly sharing a bedroom in his Park Avenue penthouse....

Eloise Manfred ha appena venduto la sua anima al diavolo del matrimonio. In cambio di un sogno di matrimonio da 100.000 dollari, sarà presentata in una rivista di tendenza come "La sposa moderna di oggi". E se gli inserzionisti dettano cosa indossa, cosa mangia e per cosa si registra? Dal vestito (ha piume gialle) alla sala ricevimento (vampiresca) agli anelli (che metallo è quello?) alla carne (tofu!), Eloise sa che ciò che conta davvero è lo sposo (piedi freddi?). Tutto ciò che deve fare è tenere un diario di pianificazione del matrimonio (fortemente modificato) e far sì che i suoi amici e familiari si entusiasmino per il suo velo di pelle durante i servizi fotografici. Eloise ha amici: le damigelle Jane, Natasha, Amanda e l'eccentrica collega Philippa, la "sposa tradizionale (ah!)" della rivista. Famiglia, non ne ha. La madre di Eloise è morta, il padre se n'è andato anni fa, il suo fratello troppo cool per essere vero sta scalando l'Everest o truffando una ricca donna più anziana a Beverly Hills e la famiglia del suo fidanzato è da ricovero. Così, tra la scelta dei vestiti in gomma per le damigelle e la preoccupazione per i servizi fotografici, Eloise si fa finalmente una domanda: Ehi, di chi è questo matrimonio, comunque?

Ein schickes Brautmodengeschäft in Forest Hills, Queens. „Wusstest du, dass eine deiner Hüften höher ist als die andere?“ fragte die Schneiderin in einem völlig gesprächigen Ton. Die Brautjungfer zu meiner Linken betrachtete mich im Spiegel, dann fiel ihr Blick auf meine Hüften. „Das wusste ich nicht,“ sagte ich. „Ich habe das nie gewusst. Aber ich bin froh, dass du es mir gesagt hast.“ Die Schneiderin hatte die Anständigkeit, verlegen zu wirken. Sie senkte den Kopf und machte mit dem Stecken weiter. Vielleicht war das der Grund, warum Blind Dates Eins, Zwei und Drei kein Interesse hatten. Es war schließlich nicht das Rauchen, es war mein Hüftproblem. Und ausgerechnet Blind Date Vier war mit einem Arzt, dessen Geschäft es war, solche Deformitäten zu bemerken. „Sieh Jane daten“ spricht Singles überall an. Warmherzig und witzig gibt dieser Blick in das Leben der achtundzwanzigjährigen Redaktionsassistentin Jane Gregg das Gefühl: „Du bist nicht allein!“ Beispiel: Sie erträgt zwei Monate Brautjungfern-Hölle für die Hochzeit ihrer jüngeren Cousine, weicht brillant dem Versuch aus, mit dem Nachbarn von Omas Nachbarin verkuppelt zu werden, indem sie lügt, dass sie, ähm, bereits einen Freund hat, und datet verrückt, um einen geeigneten Mann zu finden, den sie zur besagten Hochzeit mitbringen kann. Okay, einen geeigneten Mann zu lieben. War das so viel verlangt?
