Quinn is in love with Sage. Of that she is sure. When Sage surprises her with a weekend-get-away and proposal in Paris, she is sure she wants to marry him. Now that she is back in Manhattan, surrounded by her everyday life and the grief she is still dealing with after her father’s death in the World Trade Center collapse, she is not sure of anything. Named Prudence at birth, Quinn has always used her middle name, and now questions whether she was aptly named or if she needs to pay more heed to her given name. Quinn is a new attorney at a large mid-town law firm, has solid, caring friends, a brother with exceptional taste, and a mother who has always been somewhat of an enigma to Quinn, an obstetrician’s wife with a hippy mentality living on the Upper West Side. Leaning on her friends Kayla and Avery, and learning some secrets along the way, Quinn navigates her new life and the new designation she has received: fiancée. I was unsure about recommending this title, it’s a little bit clichéd and light-weight at times, but over a couple of days, Quinn kept fliting in and out of my mind and I think there may be more to the story than originally meets the eye. Not just the story of a newly engaged young woman navigating her way toward marriage, Quinn must find her new place in the world, in her family, her new place with Sage, with Sage’s family, and must confront the demons in her own life and now those in Sage’s.

The title is really great. I'm surprised it hasn't been used before.
Sometimes light and cliched is just the thing, especially if it stays with you for a while.

It's great when a character stays with you awhile - I'd be interested to read this to see what kind of character Quinn is. :)
Sounds like a good book...and leaves us dying to know whether or not she follows through with the wedding!
