Jenna and Stuart are getting married. The family members are gathering for this wonderful day. Before Jenna's mother passed away, she left a notebook outlining the perfect wedding for Jenna. There are so many dynamics to the blended family. There is lots of drama and mixed emotions as the wedding hour quickly approaches. This is a very quick read as everything falls into place for the beautiful day. A Beautiful Day is about all of the things that go awry as youngest daughter, Jenna is about to marry Stuart on the island of Nantucket. Older sister, Margot acts as the surrogate mother after the mother's death seven years earlier. The mother leaves behind a Notebook with strict instructions on how the wedding should proceed. The Notebook ends up in the hands of the father of the bride's second wife. The wedding is almost called off due to some omitted information; Margot's clandestine affair ends in pain; extramarital affairs ensue; a woman who broke up the parents of the groom is present and chaos seems to be in every corner of the island. But cooler heads prevail and it truly turns out to be a beautiful wedding day. A very realistic read and a page turner.
I only listened to about 1/3 of this because I didn't like any of the characters or their situation.
