"something new"
Aug. 20th, 2019 11:11 pmAugust asthma season! It's a bit rough at the moment.
I finished "Something New: Tales from a makeshift bride by Lucy Knisley. Here's my "review" (more like a few thoughts), cross-posted to Goodreads.
I liked this but it was way too long. After a while I felt like I'd gotten the point, and she was being self-indulgent. She also repeated information, which seemed odd. Well, I'm a wedding skeptic, so maybe I am not the best audience for this book. But I have liked her other work so much that I gave it a shot. The book is beautifully drawn and I like that Knisley is a reflective person. I didn't need the level of detail about everything that she provided here (such as which items she hand made, etc).
Content note: some pages about resisting diet culture.
