“Whew. This is my version of a perfect summer read: great writing, unhinged women, and completely deranged circumstances and choices propelling everything forward.

Ideologically opposed but inseparable since childhood, two best friends enter into the fraught Bridezilla/Maid-of-Honor dynamic heightened by a society centered on marriage and wedding rituals. Part sinister suspense and part insightful comedy, this book begs to be read in one sitting.”

A wedding weekend spirals out of control in this bold, electrifying, hilarious novel about the complexities of female friendship

Robin and Ellie have been best friends since childhood. When Robin came out, Ellie was there for her. When Ellie’s father died, Robin had her back. But when Ellie asks Robin to be her maid of honor, she is reluctant. A queer academic, Robin is dubious of the elaborate wedding rituals now sweeping the nation, which go far beyond a champagne toasts and boquet toss. But loyalty wins out, and Robin accepts.

Yet, as the wedding weekend approaches, a series of ominous occurrences lead Robin to second guess her decision. It seems that everyone in the bridal party is out to get her. Perhaps even Ellie herself.

Manically entertaining, viciously funny, and eerily campy, So Happy For You is the ultimate send up to our collective obsession with the wedding industry complex and a riveting, unexpectedly poignant depiction of friendship in all its messy glory.
