Listen, I wanted to like this. I really did. I chose it for book club and when I finished, this book made me question my judgement.
The book is fine. It’s ok. It feels like it was supposed to be a romcom in the 90s. The book follows Max Moody as his best friend asks him to be her best man for her wedding. He’s not the kind of gay that enjoys that stuff but they’re like life long besties so he agrees. Her fiancé’s gay brother is the other best men. This leads Max to question himself, his friendship, and his relationships.
The book feels like a specific person living in NYC will LOVE this book. The characters were miserable and selfish and I couldn’t understand why anyone wanted to around the other. It felt like it the book is marketed as a romance when it really should’ve been about the changing of friendships.
I can’t in good faith recommend it. It wasn’t for me.
