Sparkle by Mara Altman, Adil Dara Kim
3.0
Honestly I don't know what I expected from this book, maybe nothing, however it was a nice quick read and I enjoyed it.
The author goes into detail about the history of the engagement rings, diamonds, and other factors and what the commitment of impending marriage requires and means.
Personally, I found myself to be the "anti-marriage" for a really long time until I finally found my person, and it was just right. But even when she showed me the engagement ring she wanted me to have, versus what she gave me as a place holder, she had concerns it wasn't "big enough."
However, similar to the author I don't really care about that stuff, I want to be "unique" to myself and really all that mattered to me was it was "shiny" go figure, the sparkle does matter.
I also enjoyed that this book injected some humor into what could have been a really dry research paper style read.
