I generally like Lucy Knisley’s graphic novels, but Something New did not engage me. It might be that I expected more irreverence. It Just seemed like someone trying too hard to be original and falling into the bridal Bataan Death March. Love and commitment is a wonderful thing for people to celebrate, but looking at other people’s wedding pictures is rarely an exciting experience. Reading the book felt like looking at the bridal photos of someone you don’t know very well.
