Songs for other people's weddings : a novel / by David Levithan with songs by Jens Lekman.

Levithan, David, (author.). Lekman, Jens, (author,, composer.).

Summary:

"J is a wedding singer, but it didn't start that way. He wrote a love song for one of his albums that accidentally became an international hit for to-be-wed couples. These days, J talks to couples about all the small, strange things that brought them together-and then he writes and performs an original song at their weddings. But whatever J tries, he can't find the perfect words for his own love with V. Now V is off to New York, helping launch a social media platform that has struck gold. While V's life grows bigger and busier without J in it, he seeks refuge and wisdom in the happy couples he writes for, who all look so unshakably connected. And so, whether through fate or sheer determination, J sets his sights on New York, to see if he can't get V and himself singing in harmony once again. But could it be that the tune of their song changed for good"-- Provided by publisher.
