Description
‘Whip-smart, pacy, and truly hilarious. The Bridget Jones’ Diary for our times, you’ll probably read it in one sitting because that’s how good it is’ Stylist
I’m getting married. He’s perfect! It’s a disaster.
Note to self:
Do not tell future-mother-in-law that you got into Harvard Law School by sleeping with the Dean of Admissions.
Do not sing Beyoncé-style while representing client in major court deposition (actually, that one kinda works).
Do not buy into the social construct of fidelity. But hey, for an easy life, do not let Will find out about all the other men (esp. my boss/his boss/his best friend).
Meet Lily Wilder: New Yorker, lawyer extraordinaire, blushing bride. And totally incapable of being faithful to one man. As the big day dawns, one thing's for certain, Lily's in for a hell of a surprise...
A Note From the Publisher
UK edition – available to read in UK, Commonwealth excluding Canada.
Advance Praise
‘The smartest, sexiest, funniest (like, hilarious) beach read on the shelves right now’ Huffington Post
‘In the first big beach read of the season, New York lawyer and bride-to-be Lily Wilder has a hard time staying faithful to her perfect fiancé—but that won’t stop this hilarious debut novel from winning you over and warming your heart’ Entertainment Weekly
‘This debut novel’s take on modern gender roles is aggressively provocative. It’s also funny and, eventually, wise’ People Magazine
‘Sparkles with candor and wit… Kennedy’s ribald story is both engaging and atypical, the perfect combination for a new voice in women’s fiction’ Publishers Weekly
'I started reading Sunday morning, finished Sunday afternoon, have not laughed this hard or this much at a book since Bridget Jones's Diary. It was wickedly smart, hilariously funny, sexy, clever, and stupidly accomplished for a first novel. In short, the most enjoyable read I have had in YEARS. I completely loved it.' Jane Green
'HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I Take You is the funniest book I've read all year. I drank four bottles of chardonnay by myself because I couldn't get to a book club fast enough. Eliza Kennedy makes infidelity sexy again!' Gary Shteyngart
Marketing Plan
A nonstop party of sex, drugs and (lots of) booze. Oh, and a wedding. Maybe.
Bridget Jones meets Bridesmaids meets Where D'You Go Bernadette in a joyously funny debut
Lily Wilder is a new kind of literary heroine - funny, feisty, shocking and brave: she's guaranteed to generate headlines with her take on 21st century sexual politics
Acquired for seven figure in the US by the editor who brought us Gone Girl - this will be a huge publication on both sides of the Atlantic
Eliza Kennedy is well-connected in the liteary world - she's married to best-selling novelist Joshua Ferris and is coming to the UK in June, accompanying him on his author tour.
