Wedding officiant Daniel Maryland is on his way to a gig in Malibu when a woman pops up in the back seat and informs him that she needs a bathroom break. Once his heart rate returns to normal, he learns that his stowaway is Gina Candiotti, a 19-year-old Oregonian who's off on what she calls a "stupid adventure." Pressed for time, Danny takes Gina to the wedding as his "second cousin" and finds that she is a fun and charming guest. And Gina finds herself at a wedding that she could never have imagined.

5.0 out of 5 stars Emotional Fiction That Touches Deeply
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2023

This is a wonderful work of fiction. It is so true to life and so much fun. It is the kind of story that makes the reader want to be there, and not just experience it vicariously through the words. I am so glad that it gets tied up in a neat bow because it would be too tragic if it did not. I have read 2 of this author's books and have loved both. I can't even express all the levels this touches. I highly recommend this author and his books.

Daniel is a very interesting character. He reminds me of Bartoleo di Crespi in ‘ Rococo’- never known anyone like him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humorous and touching
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2021

A humorous and touching story of Daniel, an actor/painter/online ordained minister driving from San Francisco to Malibu by way of Gilroy CA to perform two weddings. A stowaway, Gina from Eugene OR, pops up from the back seat and a friendship ensues. Lots of funny stuff along the way, some romance, some heartache too. It’s not a long book, took a few hours to read it, and it held my attention the whole way through. The drive along the California coast brought back good memories of a trip I took with a friend who lived in Oakland so that was a bonus for me. Loved it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great characters you'll love.

This is not a mystery, but it is; this is not an adventure story, but it is; this is not a love story, but it is; lastly this is not a comedy or tragedy, but IT IS! This book is hard to categorize...maybe just call it a slice of life or drama...I don't know. What I do know, is it's one of the most enjoyable books I've read in a long time. I can't recommend it enough...Get it...Read it...Enjoy!

Not the kind of book I would normally read but it did provide an easy to read tale as I recovered from covid. Funny and plenty of glimpses of human frailties.

5.0 out of 5 stars COOKIE IS A DESSERT OF A BOOK
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021

I don't know why I chose this book to read, probably because Michael J. Vaughan is an addictive storyteller, but I'm SO very glad that I did. My house has gone to hell since I could not put this book down long enough to take care of it. Too bad for it since I may just reread this story right now. HIGHLY recommend.
