Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give by Ada Calhoun
Poignant and witty essays on the beautiful complexity of marriage.
".. short, sharp and sensitive volume... Her [Ada Calhoun's] witty, enthusiastic, cautionary, emotional and hard-headed reflections ought to be required reading for anyone entering, experiencing, leaving or avoiding marriage." -- The Guardian
"Calhoun is at her strongest when she probes into the unrealistic expectations people hold about the institution…" -- Times Literary Supplement
"This is a fascinating meditation on monogamy, and when we focus so much on beginnings and endings when we talk about relationships, it's refreshing to read a book that focuses on what many of us are familiar with - just trying to make it work." -- Daisy Buchanan - The Pool
"Hopeful, sensible and grounded in reality, it serves as guidance to those in long-term relationships and those embarking on them." -- Sunday Post
"Whatever your status or views on the institution, Ada’s book offers invaluable insight into marriage: the good parts, the bad parts, and the ugly parts." -- Refinery29
"... a funny and poignant marriage myth-buster, peppered with insights from religious leaders, friends and long-married matriarchs." -- The Telegraph
