Unveiling a Remarkable Journey: The Solo Honeymoon’s Unexpected Twist of True Love
All of these different taboos in writing (directly calling out what’s not there, addressing the reader) do not make for a bad read, and indeed help the narrative. Murphy wanted to share her fiancé and their love story with the world, and the form that she chose mirrors how one of her TikToks: acknowledging an invisible audience while sharing her story.
As she travels from London to the South of France to Italy, Murphy details her process both of grieving and writing the book. She talks with her mother in law, corroborates details with eye witnesses, and readily admits to what she can’t remember and had to verify later. Most authors hide the work needed to write a book, but exposing the nuts and bolts required to craft a personal narrative creates an authentic portrayal of grief and how a story develops. Murphy concedes that she might have never written a book otherwise, as she says in her dedication, “For Devon. You always wanted me to write a book. It shouldn’t have happened this way.”
