Cassandra at the Wedding by Dorothy Baker

Good, 4 stars

Cassandra's identical twin, Judith, is to be married to a nice young doctor and Cassandra (brilliant, nervewracked, gay, miserable) is hell-bent on sabotaging the wedding. This entrancing tragicomic novella follows an unpredictable course of events in which the heroine appears variously as conniving, pitiful, frenzied, and heartbroken-at once utterly impossible and tremendously sympathetic. First published in 1962, Cassandra at the Wedding is a book of enduring freshness, insight, and verve.
