Summary

“Brilliant . . . made me laugh out loud . . . I loved it.” —Amazon reviewer, five starsA rollicking tale of a bride, a groom, and two out-of-control Mumzillas from an author with “a brilliant writing style” (Donna’s Book Blog). Tessa and Leo want to celebrate their love and commitment with a small, intimate wedding. But not everyone agrees. Tess’s mum, Patricia, inspired by a recent celebrity wedding extravaganza, is doing everything from secretly tripling the guest list to pressuring Tess to wear her hand-me-down Princess Diana replica dress. To get a much-needed break from Patricia’s antics, the couple takes a trip to Ireland to visit Leo’s family. Soon, Leo’s mother, Grace, is going behind their backs to book a church wedding—and giving Tess her old wedding gown. With two wedding dresses, two venues booked, and two mothers trying to mark their territory, the couple looking forward to a lifetime of togetherness are starting to wonder if they’ll make it through the big day . . .Praise for Suzie Tullett “Fabulously fun.” —By the Letter Book Reviews “Will make you laugh out loud and warm your heart.” —Books of All Kinds

    Shakespeare has never been this sexy!
     
    One evening when helping a colleague stage The Merchant of Venice, English professor Jessica Randall slides momentarily back to 1598. Later that night, she lands for good in the chambers of one William Shakespeare, a down-on-his luck playwright.
     
    His biggest problem of late has been a non-stop stream of Jessicas apparating into his chambers nightly. Yet Jessica's appearance halts the visitations, though neither have a clue why. Can she get back to 2018? They don't know that either, and together they begin to craft a life together, all the while trying to break the time travel curse and avoid falling in love.
     
    As Jessica grapples with practical (what is and how does one put on a farthingale?) and emotional (how to risk your heart when everything might disappear in an instant?) aspects of adapting to Elizabethan London, she must try to solve the mystery of the other Jessicas. More importantly, she must figure out how to get home without suffering from the broken heart she knows she can't avoid.
     
    Despite being thwarted at every turn, Jessica manages to navigate her new world and her old one and save not only herself but Will Shakespeare and his legacy.
