![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately for the book, it affected my rating. ![]() I’m disappointed on that front, but it’s my own fault. It’s not the fault of any advertisement of the book that I thought this way, but I was hopeful with the information on the cover and some of the things Knisley complained about early on in the book. However, I went into this with the Kevin Doyle (from 27 Dresses) mindset, hoping for “an incisive look at how the wedding industry has transformed something that should be an important rite of passage into nothing more than a corporate revenue stream – in a fun, upbeat, you know, cheerful way.” This didn’t happen at all. There were three on the shelf, and I picked Something New because it sounded the most interesting. One afternoon a couple of months ago, I was browsing the graphic novel shelves at the library, and one of the librarians recommended that I read a Lucy Knisley book. Something New is an alright memoir, but the reader should not go into it with a critical mind toward weddings. Mixed in the book are some facts about costs and traditions of weddings. She shows how she fell in love with John, how her mother participated in wedding planning, and how difficult some her choices as a bride were. Lucy Knisley shares her experience as a bride in her graphic-novel memoir Something New: Tales from a Makeshift Bride. ![]()
