Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride by Lucy Knisley
3.0
Some parts were quite funny, but I thought the end dragged on a bit and got a little repetitive.
My main issue about the book is that Knisley raises some really good points about the whole wedding industrial complex, how it enforces patriarchy, and so on, but then she goes ahead and gives in and has a perfect Pinterest wedding. Sure, her wedding is not without hiccups, but everyone pulled through in the end and it was fine.
