Dark but humorous. Serious but witty. Sanguine but also…not? It’s hard to capture the tone of this novel because it’s unexpected and so many things at the same time. While parts of it dragged, the later half had me wondering how this was all going to end because I truly did not know. Basically the MC, Phoebe is going through some stuff, plans her suicide, and happens to get swept up in an elaborate wedding that derails her plans.
I wouldn’t call this a HEA but it wasn’t sad either. Maybe just realistic? With a capital R. The dry, deadpan humor had me cackling.
