The line "Bridesmaids meets Black Mirror" hooked me in, and I wasn't disappointed. It's a story of female friendships and the pressure that society pushes on people - expectations to get married, have children, climb the ladder. It's a little too believable in places - the extremes a bride might go to in order to achieve the perfect wedding. I really enjoyed the concept and writing style, with looks into the past to ground the characters, before progressing through the eventful wedding weekend.
