Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride
by Lucy Knisley
I loved the beginning and end of this book, but got bogged down in the middle. I think this is as much do to my own interests as to the book's quality. I am not and never plan to be married, so the minutia of wedding planning was a bit repetitive and not for me. However! I loved the beginning which fills in the gap of Lucy and John's relationship which I knew I was missing after skipping from An Age of Licence directly to Kid Gloves. I was delighted by Lucy's thoughts on being a bisexual woman marrying a man, and how that can lead to an erasure of queer identity. I also enjoyed the last chunk of the book which details her wedding day itself. It made me more enthusiastic to attend weddings of my family and loved ones in the future. And the book is gorgeously drawn and colored, as is all her work.
