About the Author :
COLLEEN CURRAN was engaged for three years before she planned her own wedding. Fearful of the process and confused by what it meant to plan a wedding, she set out to find out how other women view weddings today. Her stories have been published in places like Jane and The Dictionary of Failed Relationships. Whores on the Hill was her debut novel and is available from Vintage Books. She married her fiancé this past summer, after beginning work on this anthology, and is now happily married in Richmond, Virginia, where she lives and works.

Review :
“Darkly funny ruminations on getting hitched.” —People “Refreshingly unsentimental.” —O, The Oprah Magazine
