Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give
By Ada Calhoun
192 pages;
W. W. Norton & Company
Raise a glass to these reality-check essays that are equal parts ode to marriage ("I adore my husband and plan to be with him forever") and sly acknowledgment of its challenges ("I also want to run screaming from the house because...[he] insists on falling asleep to Frasier reruns").
— Hamilton Cain, Natalie Beach, Erin Vanderhoof
