SY 05_Say Yes: Forever

Part 1: Shawn and AyaI have no doubts about marrying Shawn today. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted in another person and he’s mine. But as I look around the church decorated with lilies, see the scores of people, some of which I haven’t seen for years, and look down at the almost blindingly white dress with the long train that mother picked out, I can’t help but think... this isn’t how I wanted to do this. Part 2: Ian and CoraI put my hands on my bump where the baby is growing a little more every day and try to picture what my life will look like once she’s here. I imagine feeding her and changing her. And rocking her to sleep in the rocking chair Ian got for her bedroom. I even imagine Ian and me taking her to the park and him playing with her in the sand and teaching her to hang from the monkey bars and pushing her on the swings someday. The thought of Ian being so sweet and fatherly to our little girl turns me on in a weird way. But I’m worried that everything’s going to change. Part 3: Dylan and JaneDylan takes my hand in his and gets down on one knee. “What’s happening?” I ask again, my voice cracking. My breath catches. “Jane Dooley, will you marry me?” he asks, softly. I tear up as I stare into his clear blue eyes. My breath hitches. I can’t believe this is happening. “Jane?” he asks again. I blink. “Right, right. You probably want an answer.” Part 4: Jack and NikkiJack and I are solid. He’s it for me and I’ve pretty sure I’ve known that since the moment we met. I want to be with Jack no matter what. We’ve always assured each other that we’ll be together whether we actually go through with a wedding ceremony or not. I’ve always said that I’m not in any rush. But... as I’ve watched each of the guys in Say Yes find love and get married, I’ve had to admit something to myself. I want a wedding. Soon.

The Wonder Spot

Melissa Bank's runaway bestseller, The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, charmed readers and critics alike with its wickedly insightful, tender look at a young woman's forays into love, work, and friendship. Now, with The Wonder Spot, Bank is back with her signature combination of devilishly self-deprecating humor, seriousness and wisdom.Nothing comes easily to Sophie Applebaum, the black sheep of her family trying to blend in with the herd. Uneasily situated between two brothers, Sophie first appears as the fulcrum and observer of her clan in "Boss of the World." Then, at college, in "The Toy Bar," she faces a gauntlet of challenges as Best Friend to the dramatic and beautiful Venice Lambourne, curator of "perfect things." In her early twenties, Sophie is dazzled by the possibilities of New York City during the Selectric typewriter era—only to land solidly back in Surrey, PA after her father's death. The Wonder Spot follows Sophie's quest for her own identity—who she is, what she loves, whom she loves, and occasionally whom she feels others should love—over the course of 25 years. In an often-disappointing world, Sophie listens closely to her own heart. And when she experiences her 'Aha!' moments—her own personal wonder spots—it's the real thing. In this tremendous follow-up to The Girls' Guide To Hunting And Fishing, Bank again shares her vast talent for capturing a moment, taking it to heart, and giving it back to her readers.
