"So Happy for You is the sort of devilishly clever summer read I crave. Like the worst wedding in history, I watched it unfold with my hands over my eyes and a laugh in my throat, eager to see it fly off the rails."--John Fram, author of The Bright Lands
"Celia Laskey's sly thriller completely transfixed me from beginning to end. Tart and playful, this tale of a wedding weekend gone fatally wrong is part psychological game, part societal inquest, and part best friend break-up from hell. I loved this trim and thrashing read."--Amy Jo Burns, author of Shiner
"Magnificent. In So Happy for You, Celia Laskey has masterfully crafted the tense, messy, big-hearted, and deeply original queer love story we didn't know we've been waiting for, as much full of human characters as incisive social commentary. I can't wait to see what Laskey gives us next."--Peter Kispert, author of I Know You Know Who I Am
"So Happy for You skewers the wedding-industrial complex with uproarious bitterness and gleeful fury, and a spiraling absurdism that will leave you wondering whether it's all that absurd after all. If you've ever gritted your teeth through a nightmare wedding, this one's for you. A firecracker of a book."--Micah Nemerever, author of These Violent Delights
"The sweet spot of dystopia...grounded in sufficient reality for the reader to pose the question, could this really happen?"--Kirkus Reviews
"Enjoyable and darkly comic."--Publishers Weekly
"A force of dark humor, captivating in its boldness and its portrayal of a friendship torn apart by tradition. For readers of satire and thrillers with an added dose of dystopia."--Booklist
"[A] campy, captivating and slightly creepy exploration of the complexities of female friendships and the wedding industrial complex."--E! News
"[A] compelling exploration of the world of weddings and a complex dive into female friendship."--Honey Pop
"Manically entertaining, viciously funny and eerily campy, So Happy for You is the ultimate send-up to our collective obsession with the wedding industrial complex and a riveting, unexpectedly poignant depiction of friendship in all its messy glory."--Lesbrary
"The novel unravels at full force to become a psychological game of chess with 'Handmaid's Tale' references and just enough sinister plot twists to keep the tension taut."--Edge Media Network
"At once hilarious and insightful... a great beach read."--Shondaland
"Funny, dark, [and] slightly crazed.. So Happy for You is part romp, part social commentary on being a queer woman in a culture dead set on literally zipping women into tight dresses and marching us down the aisle."--Glamour
"Laskey excels at writing queer fiction that dazzles... So Happy for You is the kind of book best enjoyed with no distractions, beside a beautiful body of water."--Vogue
"Campy, eerie, and unexpectedly very funny."--Cosmopolitan
"[A] deliciously twisted story about the highs and lows of friendship and female expectation."--PureWow
"If you're going to multiple weddings this year, So Happy For You might speak to you in a visceral way. A fast-paced satirical thriller"--Today.com
