I loved this book; the writing is sublime. But I didn't love the main character, Gail—and I wonder if I was supposed to. The story takes place over the wedding weekend of Gail's daughter, and it explores marriage, family, and foibles.  

I was invested in every character and every situation.  I read it in one sitting.  I also add that I've only heard the phrase "Three Days In June" about D-Day.

From the publisher:

Gail Baines is having a bad day. To start, she loses her job—or quits, depending on whom you ask. Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn’t even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom. Then, Gail’s ex-husband, Max, arrives unannounced on her doorstep, carrying a cat, without a place to stay, and without even a suit.

But the true crisis lands when Debbie shares with her parents a secret she has just learned about her husband to be. It will not only throw the wedding into question but also stir up Gail and Max’s past.

Told with deep sensitivity and a tart sense of humor, full of the joys and heartbreaks of love and marriage and family life, Three Days in June is a triumph, and gives us the perennially bestselling, Pulitzer Prize–winning writer at the height of her powers.
