Amanda’s Wedding
Two friends decide the bride is intolerable and set about wrecking the wedding.
Colgan’s 1999 debut, in which two friends conclude that the appalling social climber marrying their mate is a disaster worth sabotaging, and set out to wreck the wedding. It is fast, it is a farce, and the one-liners arrive at a rate that carries the whole thing. Published at the height of the form and still one of the better examples of it, mainly because the dialogue is genuinely funny.

Sophie Kinsella
This fast, funny romp was Jenny Colgan’s debut. The premise is great – a group of friends band together to save their titled friend from marrying a bitchy social climber by sabotaging the wedding. One-liners come thick and fast throughout the action, and the dialogue is always spot-on and hilarious.
