DevourerofBooks is having another awesome contest, this time to win a signed copy of Joshua Henkin’s novel Matrimony. You can read her review of the book here, but the reason I want to read this book is because it kind of sounds a lot like my life, which I think is pretty cool. As a young married person who married their college sweetheart at (GASP) age 22, I’ve gotten a fair amount of skepticism and flak thrown my way, and while I get it, I don’t always appreciate it. Marriages are hard, no matter what age you get hitched. Yes, I think in general, older=wiser=better, but not always. I’ve ripped this bit out of Jen’s review:
“anyone who married their college sweetheart, or anyone who thinks that they married too young but it turned out okay”
Hello, is that not me?! Well, for those who don’t know me, it is! I still find these contests ironic: in order to win, you must tell lots of people about the contest so they can enter….I don’t want competition, I want to win the book! Oh well, it’s fun playing.
