Lovers & Mirrors is a well considered, humourous & intriguing account of the inner turmoil which engulfs couples as they make their journey towards marriage. 'Yeyeye' uses his personal experience to map out some of the pitfalls that litter the path of couples as they plan their happily ever after and the utter chaos that awaits the foolish couple as they attempt to manifest their dream wedding. The author puts himself in a position of vulnerability as he opens up about his own shortcoming and preconceptions of marriage and how they in turn affected his initial experiences of marriage. As I devoured the book I was gripped by the humourous manner in which 'Yeyeye' tackles topics which are normally considered to be taboo. My own take is that it is an essential read for couples intent on entering into marriage with a clear view of who they are and how to engage with others as they plan their wedding as well as set up the foundations for their marriage. Coincidentally, I was in the process of organizing my own wedding when I encountered this book. I immediately utilized all the illustrations as a guide for the dos and don'ts of wedding planning. It also gave me an opportunity to reflect on and deal with my own baggage, which made conversations about the wedding and marriage with my fiancé more productive. This might be 'Yeyeye's' story but a lot of it will resonate with all of us.
