Will you be my bridesmaid? Those five words form the most loaded question in modern female friendship. And the only answer is, of course, yes!
Esme is the perfect bride. Every linen napkin is pressed, every place setting Pinterest-approved, and everything must go off without a hitch before she turns thirty, or else. Her bridal party, unfortunately, have minds of their own. Esme’s childhood best friends are her co-maids of honor, although after almost two decades of friendship, it’s shocking to realize how different their lives have become. The third bridesmaid, duty-bound, is Esme’s future sister-in-law, who is immature and far too sensitive. At least, according to Esme.
Best Day Ever is a big-hearted novel about friendship, love, and the absurdity of wedding culture. Narrated in alternating points of view, all four women's voices are singular and crackling with humor (in between cringes). Celia Silvani’s sharp debut is about growing up and growing apart, being on the precipice of turning thirty, and coming to terms with what you really want in life (versus what you thought you wanted).
Best Day Ever is perfect for fans of Bridesmaids and Dolly Alderton, and anyone who's ever been to a wedding and thought: oh no...
Commentaires
"Stressful, packed with constantly escalating bad decisions -- and an enormous amount of fun. As a perfect wedding approaches, the terrible behaviour of everyone concerned escalates, until by the end you're doubting not just whether this wedding should take place, but whether weddings in general are a terrible idea. It's also funny, fast-moving, and in the end it treats its characters with surprising warmth and generosity -- even if they rarely extend that generosity to each other." - Holly Gramazio, New York Times bestselling author of The Husbands
"A fizzy and smartly-written novel filled with buckets of humour and plenty of hide-behind-your-hands, cringeworthy moments. Silvani has an uncanny knack for social observation and the nightmarish realms of weddings, hen dos and the (sometimes ugly) spoils of female friendship. Perfect for fans of Fleabag and Dolly Alderton." - Elizabeth Arnott, author of The Secret Lives of Murderers’ Wives
“Fun and fizzy with a sting in the tail! I raced through this story of terrible decisions, toxic friendships and bad behaviour - read through your fingers with a glass in hand.”- Sarah Handyside, author of Instructions for Heartbreak
