So Happy for You
So Happy for You: A Novel | Celia Laskey
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
A wedding weekend spirals out of control in this bold, electrifying, hilarious novel about the complexities of female friendship Robin and Ellie have been best friends since childhood. When Robin came out, Ellie was there for her. When Ellie's father died, Robin had her back. But when Ellie asks Robin to be her maid of honor, she is reluctant. A queer academic, Robin is dubious of the elaborate wedding rituals now sweeping the nation, which go far beyond champagne toasts and a bouquet toss. But loyalty wins out, and Robin accepts. Yet, as the wedding weekend approaches, a series of ominous occurrences lead Robin to second-guess her decision. It seems that everyone in the bridal party is out to get her. Perhaps even Ellie herself. Manically entertaining, viciously funny and eerily campy, So Happy for You is the ultimate send-up to our collective obsession with the wedding industrial complex and a riveting, unexpectedly poignant depiction of friendship in all its messy glory.

Mehso-so

I didn‘t know what to expect here — based on the Goodreads reviews. While I think the author managed to tell an entertaining story in dark comedy format while juggling a ton of important themes… the incredibly detailed and ( in my opinion - GROSS) references to body functions and activities that I don‘t think I‘ve heard of any BFFs actually engaging in makes me give a caution to other readers. Try Bad Dolls instead if you don‘t like yuck.

Just when I think this book can‘t get any weirder or wilder… I am proven wrong 😭
