Olivia “Liv” Fitzgerald’s life is on ambition autopilot. The soon-to-be-lawyer has her life plan set and can talk anyone into anything. Well, almost anything. When her scheming aunt throws her cousin, Kali, into a competition for Southern Charm’s cover alongside Liv’s best friend, Leighton, all hell breaks loose. To save the day, Liv only has to:



a) Secure the Southern Charm cover for Leighton
b) Keep Aunt Charlotte happy—and keep Kali’s wedding running smoothly
c) Finish her final year of law school and nab a coveted NYC big law job
d) Win over the guy of her dreams



Easy, right? From engagement parties to rehearsal dinners, readers will root for Liv as she balances her schemes, dreams, and double maid-of-honor duties.

Meet the author

Elle Evans

Originally a Boston native, Elle is currently recovering from a five-year stint in Nashville featuring sweet Southern hospitality and even sweeter iced tea. After majoring in economics at Tufts, she earned her MD and MBA degrees from Vanderbilt. To balance out all that math and science – and to give her something to talk about at parties – Elle enjoys writing commercial women’s fiction and domestic suspense. She lives with her husband Alan and her rescue pup Calypso, the first of many future dogs to be named for Greek mythology characters. Elle enjoys hiking, rock climbing, and attempting ambitious cocktail recipes. She writes under a pseudonym to maintain separation from her academic research papers.

Why Zibby Loves It

Wedding Issues has all the elements of a delicious read: smart writing, a central juicy conflict, divided loyalties, and, a love interest. But it was the deeper message that resonated the most for me: how do we learn to assert our needs while trying to make everyone else happy? When is time for ourselves and how do we get there? Elle Evans’s characters are funny, bright, and oh-so-entertaining. I know readers like me will tear through it!!
