The Weddings was the fourth short story I read from the Amazon Original Stories.
It is a competently written short-story, albeit I didn't feel as invested or captivated by it as it was the case with the previous three short stories I read.
Fourty something Korean American gay man feels like a fish out of water, as many of his gay friends and acquaintances are getting married, following the relatively recent legalisation of same-sex marriage.
When he's invited to an old college friend's wedding, memories resurface from his twenties. Will a certain chapter in his past close and will he be able to move on?
While this was not my favourite story, it was still well worth my time.
I've received this via NetGalley, in exchange for my honest review.

Ha, your review is so similar to mine! So of course I love it, lol. Great minds think alike. As you say, it wasn’t a terrible read, just not as good as the others.
