Byron Lane's latest book is absolutely hilarious.
It took me a couple of chapters to settle in on Chrissy Durang's Polite Society Farm. But then her son Barnett arrives home. And his fiancé Ezra. And his mother Victoria. Add in Paw-Paw and Nichole and I couldn't keep up with the laughs. There are also bittersweet moments and tensions to add depth to the "Countdown To Damnation".
You know what's on the horizon from the title. But how big and how gay will Barnett and Ezra's wedding be? Well, it's not all fireflies and organic fireworks. There's scandal, and a vandal.
Prepare to read Pride all year and pick this one up. Recommended!
