Things should be peachy. Junie isn''t entirely sure what her problem is. She''s just moved into a Brooklyn apartment with her cool longtime boyfriend Leon, a drummer who adores her. She flits through a string of temp jobs in funky thrift store clothes. But beneath her veneer of quirky humor there''s a nagging feeling of dissatisfaction about her life. She''s about to go bananas. When Junie meets Eliot, who is twice her age, and his cat, Alfie, at the vet''s office, she''s convinced she''s found the zest missing in her life. A burnt-out sci-fi writer in search of a muse, Eliot is apples to Leon''s oranges. It''s not long before Junie''s standing in his kitchen being offered a banana...and then some. Losing herself in the mayhem of a fling, Junie slowly realizes that kinky diversions are a poor distraction from what''s really eating her. Only when she stops obsessing about Eliot and starts peeling away the layers of her family''s past will she see that what she really wants has been waiting for her all along...and that her future''s ripe with possibilities.

It makes for a great drunken story at the rehearsal dinner, but they've found themselves stuck indefinitely at a hotel in Vermont. In 'The Happiest Day of Your Life' by Heather Swain, everyone tells Annie that her wedding day will be the best yet, but her invitations have the wrong name, and a tornado destroys the bar where the is supposed to take place. But when a bomb explodes on the subway line that her fiancé, Ben, takes every morning, everything changes. In 'Losing California' by Tara McCarthy, L.A. surfing teacher Allison Beyer cancels her wedding and flies to Nova Scotia to infiltrate the life of a singer in her favourite band. And in 'Jules & Emily' by Lisa Tucker, two lonely people meet on an online board for agoraphobics, but both will be forced to change when one is invited to her estranged brother's wedding all the way across the country.

She''s finally seeing the fruits of her labors. Chef Ellie "Lemon" Manelli''s hip East Village bistro is suddenly all the rage; Lemon and her staff of wildly talented friends plucked from New York City''s finest eateries can barely keep pace. Good thing she has her loyal, doting, bankrolling Georgia peach of a boyfriend, Eddie, to lean on -- not to mention a gaggle of loving relations over the river in Brooklyn. In fact, Lemon''s life is turning out exactly as she planned -- except for the fact that she''s late. As in late. Nobody said anything about, you know, labor. Having a baby right now would jeopardize everything Lemon has worked so hard to accomplish, so the pregnancy test results leave her feeling a little sour. Eddie, bless his heart, wants to just go ahead and get married, but Lemon''s not sure the timing''s right. She''s about to learn a lesson or two about love and loss, though. And in the end she''ll discover that there''s a reason things work out the way they do -- and that when life gives you lemons, you can make lemonade, or lemon tarts, or lemon meringue pie. Or, you can just be a plain ole Lemon, if that''s what you were meant to be.

Say "I do" to five surprising stories of women grappling with love and marriage and whether to walk down the aisle or run away. In Elise Juska''s "Perfect Weather for Driving," Megan and Joel''s sunset fender-bender makes for a great drunken story at his friend''s wedding, but the reality is hardly romantic. Stuck in a New England hotel waiting for the verdict on their Volvo, the two are forced to take stock of their own damaged relationship -- and whether it''s too late to fix it. In Tara McCarthy''s "Losing California," engaged surfer Alison is convinced that Michael Madsen -- a member of her favorite band -- is her soul mate. Unfortunately, he''s not her fiancé. So Alison flies to Nova Scotia, where Michael lives, because she''s either right or she''s wrong -- and she better find out before the wedding. The bride-to-be in Pamela Ribon''s "Sara King Goes Bad" has always done the right thing but decides it''s important to know what it feels like to be reckless for once. And so two weeks before her wedding, she indulges in an unforgettable night of sex, drugs, and petty crime. In Heather Swain''s "The Happiest Day of Your Life," Annie and Ben plan a simple ceremony at an apple orchard. But when Annie loses perspective -- and everything that can go wrong does -- she''s forced to rethink why she wanted a wedding in the first place. The "Emily & Jules" of Lisa Tucker''s story are two lonely people who meet on an online bulletin board for agoraphobics. But when Emily is invited to her estranged brother''s wedding -- and it''s clear across the country -- both she and Jules may be forced to change their ways. Will any of these heroines get to the church on time? Cozy up with Cold Feet and find out.
