The Wedding Bees walks this line and falls on either side and usually on the same page. Something will start off so cute in one paragraph and veer off the rails into cringe by the end of the second paragraph and somehow find itself in cute territory by the next page. It gave me whiplash.
Yeah whatever to that. I just wanted to LOVE this book and feel the absolute warm and fuzzies. It made me think of Practical Magic and the Good Witch and although it's no Sarah Addison Waverley Sisters kind of magic realism it does have that little glow about it. I ended up really enjoying the character development and the growth. I ended up rooting for Ruby and falling in love with that weird apartment building in Alphabet City. It is a sweet little tome.
Favorite concept:
Elizabeth The Sixth and all her predecessors! Well who knew bees could be familiars?
Yeah so bees are always stinging my dogs and my dogs are always trying to eat them so I mean as good as cats no?
