Recensione:

“If you want to smile, cry, laugh, grieve, or just plain nod knowingly in the face of newlywedded supposed-to-be’s, this book is your friend.”   — Laura Munson, author of This Is Not the Story You Think It Is

“These insightful essays offer so much more than one might expect from a collection about the first year of marriage. When you treat yourself to Wedding Cake for Breakfast, you will come away entertained, encouraged, and enlightened, as if you’d just spent a weekend in the company of dear friends.”   — Therese Fowler, author of Souvenir and Exposure

“Wedding Cake for Breakfast is a pure delight! What a wonderful reminder that in the end we are all neurotic, scared, and somewhat delirious as we navigate that often wacky but usually happy first year of marriage.”   — Jessica Anya Blau, author of Drinking Closer to Home

“I loved Wedding Cake so much, I just couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this delightful and delightfully frank look at marriage in its blush of infancy (aka before the dysfunction kicks in). Men: if you want to understand your bride, read this book. It pulls the curtain back to reveal the fertile imagination lurking in the female mind.”   — Jenny Gardiner, author of Slim to None

“Wedding Cake for Breakfast is a perfectly rendered collection of wise and funny memories about the exquisitely complex first year of marriage. Simmering with love and powered by talented writers who paint hope and heart into every story, this book should be required reading for anyone who has or is about to tie the knot.”   — Ann Wertz Garvin, author of On Maggie’s Watch
