Save the Date by, Mary Kay Andrews
Rating: Not so Wonderful

Cara, is a recently divorced florist in Savannah Georgia that is struggling to keep her business a float, while juggling a new puppy, an assistant that is recently out of rehab, and a new love affair. She is faced with more problems, from her over bearing father that loaned her money to start Bloom, as well as a famous florist from South Carolina that is expanding into Savannah.
The main character is often flustered, always defensive towards men, and on the verge of failure. (sound familiar?) Instead of concentrating on the floral shop and it's success, the reader is taken on a journey of multiple weddings where Cara is portrayed more as a friend then a florist. It would have been nice to have Cara in her shop instead of the many unrealistic escapades not preformed by a florist. Her involvement into the personal lives of her clients makes the story even more unbelievable  Mary Kay Andrews books are enjoyable for their wit and Southern charm, Save the Date didn't have either.
