 it was coming, as they both wanted different things in their lives, but they still saw each other. Still loved each other. And three years later John proposed. And while their relationship is mixed in as part of their story, it isn’t THE story. Instead it’s the planning of the wedding. You see Lucy didn’t want the big extravagant weddings that you often see. And given that she’s an artist and so many of her friends and family are, she figured what better way to have a wedding than to have friends help make it happen (all either as gifts or paid for of course!) And that is this story.

Like many people, I was first introduced to Lucy Knisley through her travelogue French Milk and I was quickly enthralled. Her simple, yet evocative, line drawings created an entertaining story that made me feel like I was sitting with a good friend, sharing a meal, and listening to their adventures. Since that time I’ve followed her webcomic, supported her Kickstarter for “Here at Hogwarts”, and all of the travelogues and books that she’s written. And each time something new comes out, I find new reasons to love her work.

Like in her previous books, Lucy has no problems taking a close look at her life and sharing intimate parts of it that most people wouldn’t, such as her past relationships and her journey back together with John. And to some people that means that she lives a storybook life. She gets to travel for her job on occasion, she had a fairly privileged upbringing with both parents being fairly well off, and here she gets the guy that she always wanted to be with! Well how dare she! I mean clearly she didn’t work for the jobs where she traveled out of the country and got to participate in adventures that other photographers and reporters did, she just sat there right? Or she has storybook magic romance where they break up and then get back together and that whole relationship thing? Pfff…it didn’t take any work at all to maintain right? Just perfect right out of the box. I mean how dare things work out for her! It’s not like storybook romances are ever based on reality right?

And you get my point right? And why do I address this? Because that’s the beauty of Lucy’s stories. One of the reasons I think people feel so jealous about Lucy’s work is that they
it was coming, as they both wanted different things in their life, but they however saw each other. Still love each other. And three years by and by John nominate. And while their relationship is blend in as part of their story, it is n’t THE report. Instead it ’s the planning of the wedding. You visualize Lucy did n’t want the big extravagant weddings that you often see. And contribute that she ’s an artist and so many of her friends and family are, she calculate what better way to have a wedding than to experience friends help make it happen (all either as giving or paid for of course !) And that is this story. 

 Like many people, I was first introduced to Lucy Knisley through her travelogue French Milk and I was quickly enthralled.

 Like in her previous books, Lucy accept no problems taking a close look at her biography and sharing cozy parts of it that most people would n’t, such as her past relationships and her journey back together with John. And to some people that mean that she lives a storybook life. She gets to travel for her caper on occasion, she had a fairly privileged breeding with both parents being fairly well off, and here she gets the guy that she always desire to be with! Well how dare she! I entail clearly she did n’t exploit for the jobs where she travel out of the country and got to enter in adventures that other photographers and reporters did, she just sat there right? Or she has storybook magic romance where they break up and then get back in concert and that whole relationship matter? Pfff … it did n’t take any work at all to keep right? Just perfect right out of the box. I mean how dare things work out for her! It ’s not like storybook romances are always based on reality properly? 

 And you get my point right? And why do I address this? Because that ’s the beauty of Lucy ’s stories. One of the reason I think people feel indeed jealous about Lucy ’s work is that they

LiKE many peOPle, I was First iNtrOduCed tO luCy kniSlEY thROuGh hER trAvelogue frEnCh MilK and i WAS QuicKly EnthRalleD.

ANd each Time someThing NEw comes out, I finD New reasons to lOVe HER wORk.

LiKe iN her previouS booKS, LucY has NO pRobLEms taKing a ClOSe LOok at her life and sharInG intimAte paRts of it that moSt people woULDN’t, such as Her pASt RElationships anD her jOurney back TOgether wIth JoHn.
