I liked this - it’s a good palate cleanser of a book after reading back to back intense novels. This definitely fits the bill - the enemies are literally bridezillas so tulle and fluff abound.
Like the first book, the story centers on two superpowered women in SF and navigating their friendship and identities. The narrator this time is the showy, brash, “Hurricane Annie” as she tries to plan her best friend’s wedding and solve the mass alien possession of brides in the city while reconciling her superhero identity and her more vulnerable, squishy self.
Of course, she gets her own love interest, deals with her relationship with her parents, as well as a PR nightmare as the press paints her to be an attention grabbing maid of honor. Honestly as I write this, I’m impressed by how many tropes Kuhn manages to fit in the book, but that’s what makes it a safe, comfortable, fluffy read.
Probably more of a 3.5, but giving a 4 and saying I really likes it would be a stretch. It’s a fun read though!
