'THE BEST READ OF THE YEAR SO FAR' THE TIMES
It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at a grand beachside hotel wearing her best dress and least comfortable shoes. Immediately she is mistaken for one of the wedding people - but she's actually the only guest at the Cornwall Inn who isn't here for the big event.
Phoebe has dreamed of coming here for years. She hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband but now she is divorced and depressed, and not sure how to go on. She's not been sure how to do anything, lately, except climb into bed and drink gin and tonics and listen to the sound of the refrigerator making ice.
When the bride discovers her elaborate destination wedding could be ruined by this sad stranger, she is furious. She has spent months accounting for every detail and every possible disaster - except for, well, Phoebe . . . Soon, both women find their best-laid plans derailed and an unlikely confidante in one another.
Uproariously funny and devastatingly tender, The Wedding People is an irresistible novel about love, friendship, dysfunctional families, and the unexpected paths that lead to happiness.©2024 Alison Espach (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

It made me feel gratitude for life
Just the right balance of darkness and humour. I love the imprint that this book left

great narration but average story
in some parts entertaining but ending fairly predictable. what is very annoying is spoilers - one for breaking bad and another for an edith wharton novel - both of these i wanted to watch and read - no good now i know the endings.

Yes
Very unexpected that I really enjoyed this book. There is a seriousness, humour and a lightheartedness to this book. A very explicit beginning middle and end. Throughly enjoyed this.

One of my favourite books now
I absolutely fell in love with this book. It's heartfelt and funny. Can't say much more without spoilers but it's a masterpiece.

Clever funny
In the wrong hands this book could have been a disaster- instead it’s bitingly witty and tender

The tenderness of the story
A beautiful story full of love, acceptance and tenderness.
Helen's narration is superb, a true talent. The different voices suited to each character, and there were plenty.
Highly recommended

Fantastic engaging story
I loved this story. Brilliantly written, compelling and lovely without being sickly sweet. Narration was good too
