The writing about the wedding is very intense. Maybe due to the fact that no one in the party is in love. So everything feels like a play and people are just playing their roles in the wedding. Even Phoebe slips into the role of being maid of honor which feels weird because her first act in the book was to be herself. Honest. She choose to kill herself but when that didn’t pan out. She then choose to slip into maid of honor. So I can understand where her leaving the hotel is strange because she’s no longer playing a role. She now has to be herself. However, Phoebes presence adds a layer of comedy and honesty which puts people at ease. Im excited for her adventure after the wedding.
