Book Description
When her family pressures her to bring someone to her cousin's wedding, he challenges her promise to swear off men forever. As an only child, my mother wants me to get married...like, yesterday. But after my last two boyfriends cheated on me, I am done with dating, done with men, and done with romance. But I'd have better luck convincing my mom that the sky is green than getting her to understand I'm happy, being single. Left with no other choice, I ask the biggest manwhore I know to be my date for a wedding weekend. He has just enough charm to make my family fall in love with him but not enough that I will. Too bad the bottom half of me doesn't get the message. But even if he gets my legs to open for him, he'll never get my heart to do the same.

Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give
Author: Ada Calhoun
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393254801
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Seven essays celebrating the beauty of the imperfect marriage. We hear plenty about whether or not to get married, but much less about what it takes to stay married. Clichés around marriage—eternal bliss, domestic harmony, soul mates—leave out the real stuff. After marriage you may still want to sleep with other people. Sometimes your partner will bore the hell out of you. And when stuck paying for your spouse’s mistakes, you might miss being single. In Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give, Ada Calhoun presents an unflinching but also loving portrait of her own marriage, opening a long-overdue conversation about the institution as it truly is: not the happy ending of a love story or a relic doomed by high divorce rates, but the beginning of a challenging new chapter of which “the first twenty years are the hardest.” Calhoun’s funny, poignant personal essays explore the bedrooms of modern coupledom for a nuanced discussion of infidelity, existential anxiety, and the many other obstacles to staying together. Both realistic and openhearted, Wedding Toasts I’ll Never Give offers a refreshing new way to think about marriage as a brave, tough, creative decision to stay with another person for the rest of your life. “What a burden,” Calhoun calls marriage, “and what a gift.”
