Oops, should have made this a DNF. But by the time I was bored with it, I felt I was too far in to give up, and didn’t yero realize how tedious it would all be. Too many characters, none very interesting, all chronically unhappy and unmotived to change their stars.

Today Tonight Forever is set during a wedding weekend. The main character, 33 year old Athena, recently divorced from her wife who will be at the wedding with her new partner - the woman she cheated on Athena with, is one of the bridesmaids. However, the book really focuses on a large cast of characters, and we get all their interconnected back stories as well as their interactions during the wedding weekend. This is a warm-hearted story featuring both family and found family. I liked that it had a variety of Queer characters, including a trans-man, and that it explored many issues surrounding queerness and religion. However, it felt too long, and the cast a little too large and unwieldy to hold my interest. It wasn't a bad book but I struggled to care and may have DNF'd had I not been on a lengthy car trip with no other audiobook option.

Thank you Netgalley for this book!

I love a good wedding and if the character happens to have been in multiple weddings as a bridesmaid, I am in. This book does not disappoint. I also love when the author focuses on the chosen family and not just the family we are born into.
