The best man by kristan higgins5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I found parts of it so amusing that the part of me that just wants to laugh and have mindless fun really liked this book. Honestly, I wish I’d hated The Best Man on principle alone.īut I didn’t. (Don’t even get me started on the cheap shot it takes at transexuals everywhere.) It also comes across as a bit sloppy–it contradicts itself, drops major plotlines, and its characters veer from persona to persona. It’s condescending to gays, full of unbelievable emotional choices, overly wedded–pun intended–to the excessive elevation of marriage as the goal of true love, and shamelessly milks the pain a child feels at a parent’s death. ![]() The Best Man isn’t an awful book–in fact I had fun reading it.But this novel has far too many pitfalls. When I was growing up, I always got these annoying reports cards that said “Dabney could try harder.” Well, Ms Higgans, so can you.
