In the tradition of Sloane Crosley, Mindy Kaling, and Katie Heaney, a hilarious and insightful memoir about one New York City millennial's journey to find herself, her fantasy career, and true love, all while juggling a unique job as the world's only professional bridesmaid. After moving to New York City in her mid-20s to pursue her imagine writing - rather than living on the "Upper East Side" of her parents' house anymore - Jen Glantz seemed forward to a future of happy hours and Weekend brunches with her besties. What she received instead were a string of calls that began with, "Jen, I have something enjoyable to tell you!" and concluded with, "I'd be honored if you would be my bridesmaid." Initially she was delighted, but it wasn't long before she realized a couple of things: most of her belongings were tied up in bridesmaid dresses, and she herself was no nearer to locating the One. She couldn't do much about the next thing (though her mom would beg to differ), but she could about the first. One (just a bit tipsy) nighttime, Jen submitted an advertisement on Craigslist advertising her services as a specialist bridesmaid. When she woke up the next morning, it had gone viral. What began as a half joke suddenly converted into a lifetime of excursion for Jen - and more insight in to the so this means of love than she was getting from OKCupid - as she strolled down the aisle at stranger after stranger's wedding. Fresh, funny, and remarkably special, Always a Bridesmaid (for Hire) can be an compelling reminder that even though you don't possess everything jointly, you can still be a total employer - or, at the very least, a BFF to some other girl in need.
