Sometimes the best parts of life can't be planned. Felicity Becker loves watching an event come together. There's something magical about crafting an experience people will remember. So when her mom gets engaged, Felicity sees the wedding as the perfect opportunity to show off her skills. After Felicity's friend Nancy offers up her family's apple orchard as a venue, wedding planning gets even better. But the more time Felicity and Nancy spend together dress shopping and hunting for mismatched china, the more it starts to seem like there might be something besides friendship between them. But as someone on the asexual spectrum, what would dating even look like for Felicity? And would Nancy be open to dating when Felicity doesn't actually know what she wants from a relationship? Suddenly the summer is a lot more complicated. Can Felicity wrangle her irresponsible mom, figure out her feelings for Nancy, and plan the perfect wedding? Or will all her plans come crashing down around her? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Felicity is ace spectrum biromantic, and that plays a role in the story, we see the added challenge and concerns she feels over what a relationship for her might look like and whether the person she’s interested in will be okay with her boundaries or resent them. Not only did I like the relationship, and find it sweet as mentioned, I appreciated how thoughtfully this handled labeling sexuality, showing how reassuring it’s been for Felicity while at the same allowing that labels aren’t something that works for everyone, you should do whatever feels right for you.
Felicity and best friend Roo’s relationship was in such a rocky place throughout the book that I never really got on board with their friendship, but I absolutely loved the new friendship Felicity sort of stumbled her way into in the latter stages, that sequence of events was probably my favorite in the novel, just a joy.
The writing in this one is tinged with humor and lots of personality while at the same time exploring Felicity’s mental health struggles with the seriousness and respect it warranted. Whether or not the reader has reached the point Felicity has where she needed professional help, there’s in all likelihood some degree of relatably for everyone in her spiraling thoughts, in her skipping sleep and going overboard with caffeine to check everything off her to do list, and especially in her desire/drive for perfection.
I liked this one a lot, it’s a fun read for the most part yet it also gives you something to think about, particularly when it comes to the importance of cutting yourself some slack and widening your definition of perfect. ( )
