[A] wry "Sex and the City"-style memoir Engaging and disarmingly honest.
"People"
Doll herself is a funny, bright, complicated leading lady Contemporary heroines are not necessarily brides; they are also the friends, colleagues, classmates of brides, and their stories do not want for depth just because they re not the ones wearing white. Doll s own story a good one lays out a disruptive new path.
"The New York Times Book Review"
Chronicled with the sharply wielded wit that presumably got [Doll] invited to so many weddings in the first place ["Save the Date"] touches a cultural nerve, ultimately, because it summons, in unsparing detail, a cultural ritual as relentless as it is familiar.

A smart examination of just how"weird"weddings can be when put under the microscope .The ultimate wedding party favor is a good story. Doll has several.

"GQ"
"Save the Date"is the kind of amusing and inventive memoir that s almost impossible to put down and ripe for sharing amongst friends (bring this baby to your next girls brunch and watch your lady friends clamor to be the first to borrow it).
