Book Synopsis

Sweet Home Alabama?meets?Emily in Paris?in this hilarious romp through the world of extravagant southern weddings.

Ringless, jobless, and hopeless, Lottie Jones commits to doing the only thing she truly studied in school: wedding planning.

When floundering and unlucky-in-love twenty-something Lottie Jones lands a new career as a wedding planner at a top-tier boutique event firm, she begins navigating a cutthroat workplace specializing in over-the-top details, unlimited budgets, and a broad spectrum of taste. Whether planning for parachute landings or wrangling intoxicated groomsmen, she has her hands full at every million-dollar wedding she helps organize.

After her boss announces he's opening a new office, Lottie sees her chance to finally carve out her place, and earn an income that justifies her dating app subscription fees. The weddings get bigger, the clients get wilder, the mishaps get funnier, and the stakes get higher. And Lottie's forced to discover what she'll risk for love and how far she'll go to find herself.

Set against the glamorous, ruthless world of high-end Southern weddings and inspired by real events in the authors' lives, ?Without a Hitch?is a hilarious romp about taking ownership, facing fears, planning your ex-boyfriend's wedding, and choosing a happy ending that wasn't what you once expected.

"A sweet, Southern confection of a book about what it takes to orchestrate everyone else's happily ever after when your own heart has been broken. This sneak peek into the world of high-end wedding planning will keep you laughing as Lottie deconstructs the fairy tale and finds her authentic self." Jodi Picoult, ?New York Times?bestselling author of?Wish You Were Here

Review Quotes

As a new author, Without a Hitch is one of those wonderfully woven reads that continues to be a source of inspiration for me . . . This novel has a refreshing angle on southern charm, facing your fears and perhaps falling in love along the way.--New York Post

Imagine if Sweet Home Alabama and Emily in Paris had a sassy baby. That's what you're getting in this delightful rom-com about a floundering and unlucky-in-love wedding planner who finds herself planning her ex-boyfriend's nuptials.--E! News

'Huddleston and Paul's debut is a charming balance of dishy detail about high-end weddings and coming-of-age workplace comedy, featuring a plucky and appealing heroine whose misadventures will delight readers. While there are some romantic elements, it's not a romantic comedy--the focus is on Lottie's personal and professional growth rather than a happily-ever-after. Fans of Sophie Kinsella and Meg Cabot will enjoy this sassy Southern take on chick lit.'--Booklist

'Wonderfully over-the-top characters add verve . . . This raucous and well-plotted romp will charm any reader with their eye on a pair of Louboutins fit for walking down the aisle.'--Publishers Weekly
