so-so

A woman who wants to kill herself gets stuck at the most perfectionist bride's wedding. Great setting but it just became toooo preachy at some points. Great characters though, them being the reason I kept on reading. I for sure know this is gonna be a great movie and I'd love it more than the book!
3.5/5🌟

Unsurprisingly, given all the Litsy love for this one, I loved this book! I love how Espach took contemporary comedic fiction tropes and found genuine humanity underneath. The day drinking mother of the bride, the uptight sister of the groom, the perfectionist verging on bridezilla? They are all wrestling with their own vulnerabilities and trying to get through their days.

TheKidUpstairs And an ending that's not "happily ever after" but rather "let's remain open to happiness" that is just *chef's kiss* 1w

TheKidUpstairs Also, the banter is perfection, and there are plenty of genuinely laugh out loud moments. I happily add my voice to the chorus of love for this one! 1w

CBee Really great review! I didn‘t think I‘d like this book and it ended up being a favorite of the year thus far 👏🏻👏🏻 1w

AmyG The cover doesn‘t remotely do this book justice. I, too, loved it. Contemporary fiction mixed with rom com. Such a good read. 1w

The first few chapters I was skeptical but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. Female friendships are complicated and adult life is hard!

so-so

This month‘s #bookclub pick led to a lively discussion! Revolving around grief, this details the brief but devoted marriage between Josh & Lauren. Told in his perspective moving forward from her funeral & hers moving back to the start of their relationship, this structure frustrated me at times because I wanted a stronger foundation for their relationship to share in the grief. But I loved the concept of the letters & tasks— an engaging listen!

bailed

Definitely in the minority on this book, but I lost interest halfway through. I didn‘t connect with any of the characters and the “I don‘t like this” vibes started to outweigh the “I love this!” vibes. #HailtheBail 🚀

dabbe YES! #hailthatbail! 🙌🏻 #betterbooksahead 3w

Aims42 @dabbe The #hailthebail hashtag is so empowering 😁💕 I started a new book and already it‘s a better fit 3w

IndianBookworm Just finished the book, it's decent but even I do not get the hype! (edited) 6d

Aims42 @IndianBookworm Right?! I found myself thinking of anything else but reading, I even thought of doing laundry instead! That was my “lightbulb moment” to pick a different book 😆 6d

IndianBookworm @Aims42 what an epiphany! 😂 I think it'd be a great movie though, lots of characters, beautiful setting and events, and less PREACHY❤ 6d

Aims42 @IndianBookworm Oh man, I don‘t even know if I made it to the preachy parts 🤣🤣🤣 I bailed during the bachelorette “seminar”. It could be a great movie though, I could definitely see some actresses in the role of Phoebe and Lila 5d

IndianBookworm @Aims42 hahaha, I think you passed a few but the frequency increased a lot more towards the end! 😓 5d

Aims42 @IndianBookworm Oof 🫠 Okay, glad I bailed when I did then 😆😮‍💨 5d
