I Take You by Eliza Kennedy
3.0
Original review posted here.
I Take You - a funny debut by Eliza Kennedy was a fresh read. It was way different from my last two reads, and just what I needed after them. It was sultry, sexy, and down right dirty at times, but it was fun!
Lily, the reckless New Yorker, the hard working lawyer is getting married. No one can believe it, including herself sometimes. But here she is, planning her wedding and going to Florida to make it official. Her parents (all of them!) try to talk her out of the marriage. The reason? Lily cannot be faithful to just one man. The man she should be faithful to, her fiance Will is a loveable, smart, good-looking archaeologist who fell quickly for Lily. With just a few dates under their belts, do they really know each other? Are they truly ready for marriage? What will become of Lily and Will in the end?
Lily loves booze, it consumes her mornings, afternoons and evenings and sometimes has her making questionable decisions. With the wedding just days away Lily cannot fight her urge to be with other men. At times Lily will resolve that she really does love Will and she promises that never again will she stray. But a few drinks later, enter a good looking guy at a bar, a groomsman perhaps, maybe even her boss and Lily cannot refuse a good time.
Filled with humor, Star Wars references and a whole lot of gender politics and surrounding issues, it's a book that will have you laughing out loud and talking about with your girlfriends. A fun summer read.
