How far would you go to escape being the supporting role in everyone else’s love story?

Chloe has been to more weddings than she can count—and she’s never the bride, just the wildcard in red. When she steps into yet another picture-perfect ceremony surrounded by pastel dresses, Pinterest perfection, and ex-sorority sisters who’ve “made it,” her sarcasm is her only shield. But when one secret encounter sets off a chain reaction of bad decisions, guilt, and raw, intimate moments with the unlikeliest people, Chloe spirals.

As she navigates high-end hotel lobbies, rooftop vow exchanges, and the underbelly of bridal perfection, Chloe discovers that rock bottom isn’t a place—it’s a performance. And sometimes, the only way to be truly seen is to drop the mask entirely.

Always a Bridesmaid is a sharp, sexy, emotionally raw contemporary novel about identity, friendship, desire, and the hard truths we run from—and the people who make us stop running.

Fans of Sally Rooney, Taylor Jenkins Reid, and Tarryn Fisher will be riveted.
