Life just got life-y…
On the night that Trudy Asp discovers her ex is engaged to the same
dental hygienist who’s been picking at her teeth for ten years, her daughter,
Madison, suddenly announces that she too is getting married, in Europe.
Frumpy, floundering, and forced to live with her martini-swilling mother,
Trudy is swamped by these revelations. And on top of it all, she’ll be wearing
the second most scrutinized gown at the wedding.
Having packed on the pounds during the demise of her marriage, the idea
of being eyeballed by her ex and his scrawny fiancée Zelda, is truly
horrifying. To make matters worse, there’s the paralyzing fear of a
transatlantic flight — something Trudy has avoided for decades.
When Zelda offers to stand in for her, Trudy is forced to confront the
forces that stole her marriage and threaten to steal her daughter’s wedding
too. With three months until the ceremony, Trudy must get to Europe, squeeze
herself into a gown, and claim the role she wants more than anything:
Mother-of-the-Bride.
Will this Odd Mom Out sink or swim? Or will she drown in a sea of
humiliation?
