| book description |

In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City millennialâ€™s journey to find herself, her dream career, and true love, all while juggling a truly unique job as the worldâ€™s only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-twenties to pursue her dream of writingâ€”and not living on the â€œUpper East Sideâ€ of her parentsâ€™ house anymoreâ€”Jen Glantz looked forward to a future of happy hours and Sunday brunches with her besties. What she got instead were a string of phone calls that began with, â€œJen, I have something exciting to tell you!â€ and ended with, â€œIâ€™d be honored if you would be my bridesmaid.â€ At first she was delighted, but it wasnâ€™t long before she realized two things: all of her assets were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no closer to finding The One. She couldn't do much about the second thing (though her mother would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (slightly tipsy) night, Jen posted an ad on Craigslist advertising her services as a professional bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half-joke suddenly turned into a lifetime of adventure for Jenâ€“and more insight into the meaning of love than she was getting from OKCupidâ€”as she walked down the aisle at stranger after strangerâ€™s wedding. Fresh, funny, and surprisingly sweet, Always a Bridesmaid (For Hire) is an entertaining reminder that even if you donâ€™t have everything together, you can still be a total bossâ€”or, at the very least, a BFF to another girl in need.
