Bridesmaid's dress optional
What would you do if your fiancee and girlfriend of ten years dumps you the week of the wedding? Then you go back to work and a demotion?
In "Honeymoon with my Brother", Franz Wisner decides to go on the honeymoon after all. He just takes his recently divorce brother Kurt instead. What starts out as a lark begins a several year trek around the world.
Wisner does a good job of balancing his inner journey of getting over a broken heart and bonding with his brother and the larger journey of seeing the world. He has a great ear/eye for capturing the poignancy and absurdity of the locals and his fellow world travellers.
His grandmother LaRue is a presence throughout the book. As others worry about their finances and getting a "real" job, LaRue and her geriatric companions at the home encourage the brothers. They know life is too short not to go for it.
