Great little novel about a couple approaching their wedding day told from multiple perspectives. Oh, and it’s also very funny.

I can see why people would hate this but I love reading about unlikeable and perhaps terrible people taking bad decisions. I also love a good marriage plot. And multiple points of view. And music, particularly someone being obsessed with piano. I love reading about the very thin lines that separate romantic relationships from friendship. I love... well, I loved almost everything about this book and I think Naoise Dolan is a terrific writer. She's definitely not a Sally Rooney copycat and it would be nice if people stopped saying that about every female Irish author.
