What's Buzzworthy? Wedding and Marriage Novels
Last week the USA premiered their summer series "The Starter Wife" which was based on the popular novel by Gigi Levangie Grazer about a woman who married into a hip Hollywood lifestyle that she's forced to leave behind when her husband cheats on her.
It makes me think of another marriage-themed book I read recently, Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin, in which the main characters' love triangle threatens to shake up an engagement. The book is funny and self-deprecating, and each of the characters learns something about him/herself in the end, which seems to often be the case in novels about weddings or marriage.

She said, "In The Starter Wife, we shot it like a film, we shot it out of order, it was 4 months, 6 hours worth of film, so there was the luxury of time to tell the story.
