    Jakarta (also known as “Jack”) is determined never to fall in love or get married.  She’s seen her five sisters deal
    with boys and doesn’t think they are worth the hassle.  Plus, she’s doomed by the “wedding curse”:  her dates at
    her sisters’ weddings have turned out disastrous.

    Two of her sisters are planning summer weddings and she’s involved but sticking to her vow to not get herself into a
    relationship.

    Then she meets Leo. He is the wedding planner’s son, so he and Jack are thrown together in the wedding
    preparations.  Leo isn’t like the other guys.  He wants to get to know Jack and believes he can break the “wedding
    curse."  Yet Jack keeps herself busy with her sisters’ plans to keep her mind off Leo.  It’s not that easy, though, as
    Leo manages to appear everywhere!

    This is fun novel about falling in love, wedding chaos, and just making time for what’s important.  I enjoyed getting
    to know Jack as well as her sisters.  Part of the appeal in this novel is not only wondering what’s going to happen
    with Jack and Leo but also about her sisters and their relationships.

    Will the weddings take place without a hitch?
