Jenny has known who sent the rose-or brought it, more likely-ever since her vision made it out clearly lying four inches from her face on the pillow. It’s engraved onto the stem in minuscule letters, barely scratches. At last a flash of light reveals the message she somehow knew was there. Rationality wars with post-hypnotic suggestion. But right now she feels strongly that she has to examine this object further. She needs help with this, she’s not so irrational as to deny it.
She remembers how it had felt in her hand the first time, in the caverns of the dark elves. Sleek, glimmering, its bud halfway open, like lips open for a kiss. Moving slowly and almost hypnotically, she strips the cover off a pastel yellow pillow and then uses the cloth to pick the silver thing up. Jenny reaches for the phone, then stills. The room is empty except for herself and nothing has changed in it except the silver rose on her pillowcase. She abruptly slides off the bed and then whirls around, her heart hammering, to confront. Her sense of hearing seems to have increased to an almost painful state, but there is no sound. Finally, moving nothing but her eyes, she looks around her single dorm room in terror, peering into every sunlit corner. As completely awake as if she'd been doused with the remains of an ice-bucket, Jenny can only stare at the object for long, long minutes.

Since it's high summer, they're all in white, but below the white chiffon, Dee is in shimmering mint, Audrey in demure jasmine, and Summer in soft cornflower.
Zach takes over sending the invitations, Tom works with the wedding theme designer while Dee and Audrey and Summer and Jenny pick out their multi-bridal finery. Her parents finally cave and Jenny begins to rush around-late again-for one of the most important days of her life. She intimates in her fight with Mom that in accordance with their strongly maintained family beliefs she's still a virgin, but that that's likely to change in the next month, whether she wears a veil and stands before a minister or not. Jenny has grown stronger and kinder since the first book, but she still has flashes of temper. (In different versions, she varies from 18 to 20-but anyway, her parents think her too young.) Jenny and her mom have a fight, Jenny storming that she's been in love with Tom since elementary school and her parents got married after knowing each other only six months. "So far, what I can tell you is that the story starts the week when Jenny is about to marry Tom. It is unknown if it will be released, though L. As of current information as of 2021, the book has been canceled.
