Order for Catherine Weingarten's I Wanttt a Unicorn Frappe!!!:
-Quad shot of skewered contemporary wedding culture
-Three pumps of deeply stylized humor
-A drizzle inside the cup of devastating realization
-More whipped cream than one thought possible.
At the surface, it’s all about the perfect day—cake flavors, gift bags, and suit colors planned for maximum likes. But beneath the expertly filtered veneer, something isn’t quite right. As Jenny chases the ultimate Instagrammable love story, she finds herself teetering between fantasy and reality, between the obsession with being in love and the terrifying question of whether she actually is.
With a real prince (yep, with a real hobby horse), a deep void where love should be, and a $9 novelty coffee as a band-aid for existential dread, Weingarten’s signature comedic skill gives us characters so messy, so deeply problematic, and yet so painfully human that we can’t help but fall in love with them—filters and all.
“Frothy, funny, and full of depressingly insightful commentary about what it means to be a young woman in the 21st century. Catherine has an incredibly unique voice and important things to say.
