The Wedding Present

By Agnes Ruiz

Isabelle can no longer bear the idea of someone looking for a husband for her at all costs and she finally pretends she has gotten married. What a surprise when her parents offer her a cruise as a wedding present. She decides to accept and leave with her best friend. Only then, on the boat, a photographer is waiting for her to immortalize this trip with her husband! Isabelle has to confess everything or find someone to play the role of the husband... A story full of humor that can be savored without moderation.
