The Wedding Girl by Madeleine Wickham
Book Description
At the age of eighteen, in that first golden Oxford summer, Milly was up for anything. Rupert and his American lover, Allan, were an important part of her new, exciting life, so when Rupert suggested to her that she and Allan should get married to keep Allan in the country, Milly didn’t hesitate.
Ten years later, Milly is a very different person and engaged to Simon—who is wealthy, serious, and believes her to be perfect. Milly’s secret history is locked away so securely she has almost persuaded herself that it doesn’t exist—until, only four days before her elaborate wedding. To have and to hold takes on a whole new meaning when one bride’s past catches up with her and bring the present crashing down.
With her trademark style of keen insight, and razor sharp wit, Madeleine Wickham introduces her fanatical fan-base, plus a host of new readers to a fresh and irresistible heroine in The Wedding Girl.

I’ve read one Madeleine Wickham book and I wasn’t that impressed; I think it might have been this one but I’m note sure. I think SK’s chick lit is better, about the only chick lit I will read without a gun to my head (I think the first shopaholic book is terrific). As MW I think she loses her edge – of course she can write well, yes, or she wouldn’t be so popular all over the world, but I remember that I thought she’d combined the daft plotlines that totally work in chick lit, with contemporary fiction, and for me it wasn’t a good mix.

When I do get time to read this I’ll have to let you know what I thought, I’ve read several of her books as SK, don’t think I’ve tried a MW yet.
