Leslie Westcott loses the love of her life in a climbing accident two weeks before her wedding. Over the ensuing years, she meets and becomes engaged to several other men, planning each wedding which includes buying a new dress. For one reason or another, she breaks off each relationship, and ends up with several unworn wedding dresses. Eventually she decides to offer them at a fundraising auction. I’m assuming the auction takes place at the end of the novel since I didn’t get that far.
After reading about her second Mr. Almost Right, I realized the rest of the 344-page novel would consist of Leslie becoming engaged and then breaking off the relationship time after time.

Therefore we know ahead of time why Leslie decides not to marry each man. For that reason there was no tension or uncertainty for this reader. And as another reviewer mentioned, for a smart businesswoman she was clueless about men.
