the wedding people

The Wedding People by Alison Espach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ok i was waiting for this book from the library for months, and well, it was worth wait. an truly unique direction for a wedding plot. there's a sprinkle of white lotus trio gal pal nonsense and light weaving of a loose jane eyre flair in there. i thought the ending would be predictable but happily it landed remarkably solid. RECOMMEND!

finally...a play-in win

okay, i had to give myself time to recover from tuesday's play-in game versus the grizzlies. i've included the final 5 minutes of the game above to illustrate my need for rest.  it was torturous BUT we got that dub. playoff jimmy is a real thing and refs still hate on the warriors.  so in 48 hours time we will be playing the first playoff game of 2025 against the rockets. i'm feeling apprehensive, but confident that we can defeat the rockets IF we manage our turnovers AND play the championship defense that I know we can. we have a great bench of rookies and vets.  let's get it.
