The Good Bride Guide

Ben Grant is fed up with always meeting the wrong girl. Having just celebrated his 29th birthday by being dumped by his 29th girlfriend, he decides he can't go on like this. Why can't he be as blissfully happy as his best friend Ashif, about to marry the beautiful Prithi, a bride chosen for him by his parents?

Suddenly Ben has a great why not ask his own parents to do the same for him? But while Ben's parents see this as the perfect opportunity to set their son on the path to matrimonial bliss, it soon becomes clear that Ben's idea of the kind of woman he wants to settle down with is quite different from that of his somewhat traditional mum and dad. Following a series of disastrous dates, Ben starts to realize that he wouldn't let his parents pick him out a shirt to wear, let alone a woman to marry.

But when Ben finally meets the girl he thinks might be 'the one', he realizes that maybe his mum and dad can teach him something after all. Can he learn the art of romance from his parents and land the girl of his dreams?

The Good Bride Guide is a British romantic comedy from best-selling (and award-losing) novelist Matt Dunn, author of The Ex-Boyfriend's Handbook.
