Synopsis

After her marriage to Damien ended in disaster, Londoner Josie Flynn -- thirtysomething and single again -- is flying across the ocean to her American cousin's "big mistake" wedding. In her present "love stinks" frame of mind, the last person she expects to be seated next to on the flight is someone like Matt Jarvis. A recently divorced rock journalist, Matt is sensitive, good-looking, and remarkably attentive -- and before their plane touches down, Josie's smitten. So how can she hope to convince her cousin to cut and run when Josie is all ready to leap into love again -- with a stranger, no less, who might be just another Mr. Totally Wrong in Mr. Seductively Right's clothing?The point is rendered moot, of course, once they deplane and she and Matt go their separate ways. After all, Josie's got prenuptial confabs to worry about and that dreaded lilac chiffon bridesmaid's dress to wear. But Dante himself couldn't have dreamed up the hell this wedding is proving to be -- and when her dream hunk reappears and throws himself into the mix, Josie finds herself wondering how she -- or any unattached modern woman, in fact -- can hope to survive the new romantic rules of the twenty-first century.Already a bestseller in the U.K., Carole Matthews's For Better, for Worse is a deliriously droll, dead-on tale of marriage, sex, monogamy, and modern love.

About this title

Review:

A feel-good tale . . . fun and thoroughly escapist (Marie Claire)

Matthews is one of the few writers who can rival Marian Keyes's gift for telling heart-warming tales with buckets of charm and laughs (Daily Record)

They get better every time (Observer)

It makes you laugh one minute and cry the next (Prima)

From the Author:

Thank you!
A big thank you to everyone who has taken the trouble to email me with kind comments or to put a review on Amazon. It means a lot to know that there are people out there who are not only reading my books, but also enjoying them! It makes the fingers of an isolated writer type just that little bit faster. The only scary thing is how many people contact me to say that the books are an accurate reflection of their current situations - and I thought it was only me who had such a tortured love life! I now know I'm in very good company...

If you haven't yet bought one of my novels, you never know what you might be missing. Go on, dive in! There are no London wine bars and no Jimmy Choo's just very real characters with very real problems who manage to find the funny side of making a mess of their lives. Don't we all! It's cheaper than two Bacardi Breezers and it won't leave you with a headache, but it will give you a couple of hours of fun and laughter. What more can you ask? With all good wishes... Carole Matthews : )

An uproarious story of love, life and why we keep saying 'I do'...
