Getting Married

Theresa Alan, . . Kensington, $12.95 (309pp) ISBN 978-0-7582-0996-2

Eva Lockhart, a 31-year-old management consultant who's not outdoorsy and who's very committed to her career, has had trouble finding a man in Denver. When she meets nice-guy Will online and he moves in, Eva begins to stress that she needs to cook and clean, satisfy his sexual needs and still run her business. Her misgivings are nearly forgotten when Will proposes. But planning the perfect wedding pushes her over the edge, and in a hard-to-believe turn, she gets hooked on speed. Though Eva's drug addiction is handled with all the finesse of a public service announcement, it's a pretty big departure for a chick lit heroine. (May)
