All Annie Delaney really wants is her happily ever after. A big dress. A big day. A big commitment. She even has a scrapbook filled to bursting with ideas for her dream day, her dream home, and, of course, her dream man. The only problem? The current man on her arm isn't so much a dream as he is a nightmare—and as for the man currently in her bed... well, that's a whole other disaster waiting to unfold. With her relationship—and her life—heading into a tailspin, Annie realises she has to re-examine what will truly make her happy. All the while, she’s desperately trying (and failing) not to make things worse. But happiness is never going to come easily, especially when Annie watches her friend Fionn heading straight toward her own big day with her Mr. Right. Yet even Fionn’s journey isn’t as smooth as it seems. Annie soon discovers the difficulties Fionn faces, not just with Mr. Right’s very own Little Miss, but also with an ex who’s lurking ominously in the wings. Seeking support, Annie turns to her sister, Darcy, who opens her eyes to what can truly make someone happy—or heartbreakingly sad. Along the way, Annie finds herself pondering that age-old question: is there ever really such a thing as the perfect relationship?
