Book Review of The Member of the Wedding

The Member of the Wedding
BookwormMary avatar reviewed on


Horrible! This is the story of a 12 year old girl, Frankie, who comes up with the ridiculous fantasy that her soon-to-be-wed brother and his new wife will take her with them after the wedding. Frankie's thoughts and action make her sound more like a 4-year-old who needs a nap! At one point, she wanders around her little town, cornering total strangers to tell them all about the upcoming wedding and how she won't be coming back afterward. Her behavior as the bride and groom leave the wedding reception just doesn't ring true as the actions of a 12 year old girl.
