Wedding experiences come in as varied an assortment as the gowns at any bridal shop, and Doll turns a keen eye to each, delivering a heartfelt exploration of contemporary relationships. Funny, honest, and affecting,Save the Dateis a fresh and spirited look at the many ways in which we connect to one another. 'An endearingly funny memoir of Doll's vast experience watching other people get married - and the lessons she's learned about love, friendship, and herself.' O, The Oprah Magazine 'Chronicled with the sharply wielded wit that presumably got Doll invited to so many weddings in the first place . . .

Newsweek 'A meditation on the marriage ceremony and on how, by bearing witness, we shape our perspectives on love, friendship, and commitment . . . Advice anyone seated at the singles table can take to heart.' Entertainment Weekly
