Sophie Bernstein and her sommelier fiance were set to have Chicago's culinary wedding of the year - until the groom eloped with someone else, leaving Sophie fifty grand in debt on her dream wedding and one-hundred percent screwed on her dream life. Trying to regroup, Sophie gets a job at an old-school Jewish bakery. Up to her elbows in mandelbread and challah dough, she finds herself having fun helping to plan other people's weddings - and putting her own twist on starting over.

Pure funny chick-lit. A bit predictable maybe but highly entertaining. I loved it.

This is my favorite book so far this Spring! I loved Sophie! The cast of characters were great, especially Bubbles, Sophie's 80 something grandmother, what a lively and fun lady, I would  love to have a relative like Bubbles. Sophie's hippy parents were great as well, their support of Sophie's situation was so endearing to me. I would have to say that to me this book was more like the Judy Garland movie, In The Good Ole Summertime, which just happens to be one of my all time favorite movies, I am a big fan of old movies. I enjoyed the old-fashioned feel of this book, the neighborhood bakery that Sophie helps to bring back to life, the old Chicago neighborhood, I felt like I was there with Sophie, that's how good the description of the setting is. Herman, the bakery owner is another favorite of mine, what a sweetheart!
