I Take You: A Novel by Eliza Kennedy

I Take You: A Novel by Eliza Kennedy is a story that takes place the week before Lily Wilder a foul mouth young lawyer that loves to get drunk and sleep around gets married to her fiancé Will, a handsome, intelligent, sweet, but somewhat boring archaeologist.

They fly down from New York to Key West where Lily spent her childhood. While there she continues to nonchalantly cheat on her soon to be husband and contemplates whether she really wants to get married or not. It doesn't help that her own family tries to talk her out of getting married, out of fear that Will and Lily don't know enough about each other. Her future mother in law also doesn't approve of Lily and tries to sabotage the wedding. To the very end this book will keep you guessing: Will they or won't they get married?

I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this book! It's interesting, unpredictable, funny, smart, and witty. I flew through this book and loved every moment of it.

It's not just a funny book with no substance either. The author touches on topics like gender roles, monogamy, sex, and marriage with an interesting and modern perspective.

However, I wouldn't recommend this book if you don't have a sense of humor or if you're easily offended. There is a lot of bad language, sexually explicit scenes, and some drug use throughout it's entirety.

Disclaimer: "I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review."
