'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

What a fresh story line! Loved it. And then hated some parts, but learned that that was part of it. A must read!

SO UNIQUE!

Loved all these characters and I wish I could have kept on listening to the narrator tell me all about them for longer.

Beautiful storytelling

So honest and entertaining, the truth of allowing themselves to engage and understand their emotions, told in a humoristic tone. Just funny enough to make you laugh at your own denial. Just serious enough to know that every day is an oppurtunity to start again, laugh again, to allow yourselve to cry at what hurts. Excellent book! totally loved all of it!

Fantastic narration. Supurb caracter development.

Such a great read. Touching yet laugh out loud funny at times. Just the book I needed.

Loved it

I loved how deep the questions posed here were. It’s so hard to be authentically you- when you don’t really know who you are. I liked how the author attempted to answer these existential questions. A must read.

Smart, thought provoking, funny

This was not my thing at all. I couldn't see any humour in it and the story was laboured and slow. I listened to 2 hours and called it a day. I bought this based on the many positive reviews but I honestly don't understand the hype.

Definitely Not Funny A Very Rare DNF!
