And I finger the invitation I stole. The wedding, the union of Miss Evelyn Cottrell and Mr. Allen Skinner, is tomorrow. At eleven ante meridiem, according to the gold engraving. To be followed by a reception at the bride's home.
To be followed by a house fire.
To be followed by a murder.
Dress formal.
Way more than I was thinking. Interesting look into culture of beauty, fluid identity, gender, commercialism. At times potentially leans into shocking for the sake of shocking, but I think it mostly hits. Super fun and engrossing read as well!
one of my favorite books of all time, i need to do a proper reread of this
