From Booklist

Tori Carter is a woman who knows what she wants down to the smallest detail, which helps her when she’s planning her expensive, over-the-top, picture-perfect wedding. Everything goes according to elaborate plan until, an hour and a half after he’s supposed to be at the church, her fiancé, Roland, sends her a text message telling her the wedding is off because he loves another woman. Shattered, Tori throws herself into her work as an event planner and very slowly eases herself back into the dating pool. It’s hard going, especially when every date turns out to be a bum, a druggie, or some other form of lowlife; but with well-meaning friends and a large, concerned family, Tori is able to put her life back together. At least it seems so, until Roland comes back into the picture. With a strong, powerful female lead and feisty, tough women as her support, Berry’s first novel is a fresh, vivid portrait of one woman’s trying experience. --Hilary Hatton

Product Description

She Had The Perfect Plan. But Plans Aren't Set In Stone.

No drama, no problems--that's Tori Carter's idea of the good life. Her tendency to plan everything to the max has made her the most successful event coordinator in the business--and the number one problem solver for her family and friends. But when her perfect fiancé runs off with another woman, he leaves Tori without a Plan B-through-Z. . .or any idea what to do next. And now she's dealing with one surprise after another. Her well-meaning friends are delivering a rogue's gallery of bad-news dates. Her demanding boss expects Tori to work miracles with ever-more-impossible clients. And Tori's handsome neighbor Nelson is a chef who turns up the heat in ways she never imagined. Now Tori has to improvise, let loose--and get wise--if she's going to figure out who she is and what kind of happiness she really wants. . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, August 23, 2009
This review is from: The Next Best Thing (Paperback)
I had never heard of this author, but I liked the cover so I just picked it up. I'm glad I did. This is such a great book and very funny. Certain parts of the dialogue are so funny (things you might say with your girlfriends) that I would laugh out loud and people would look at my like I was crazy. And I think that is always a test to a great book. If you are out in public reading a book and you can't help to laugh, smile or make a loud remark, then you have found a winner. I will certainly keep this author in mind for future books. 5 stars. This book is going on my shelf for all time favorites.

I loved this book. It's super funny, well written, great characters, fast paced, and engaging. What else could you ask for? Oh yeah, the chartacter's are so life like I think this book is loosely based on true life events. I recommended it to all my girlfriend's.

This review is from: The Next Best Thing (Kindle Edition)
I bought the book because of the great reviews. The book was more than I expected. It was a great story about love and life in general. Terri Carter's character was well developed. I felt as if a long lost friend was catching me up on her life with this novel. I couldn't put the book down after the first two pages. I have been bragging so much about the book, my co-workers are lined up to read it!!
