7.27.2024 - The Wedding People

The Wedding People by Alison Espach 

Many thanks to NetGalley, Henry Holt & Company, and Macmillan Audio for gifting me both a digital and audio ARC of this fabulous book by Allison Espach, with the audiobook narrated perfectly by Helen Laser.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

Phoebe Stone arrives at the Cornwall Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, for a one-night only stay.  She's immediately mistaken as one of the wedding people, because Lila has taken over the entire inn for a 6-day, million dollar wedding.   As much as Phoebe tries to stay out of the way, she soon becomes a confidant to Lila, and the two become close.  

This is the perfect summer novel.  It's beautifully written to touch all your emotions, but with that dark humor I love to balance it out..  I loved getting to know these characters, especially Phoebe, and loved going along on their journey to find themselves.  It's hilarious, touching, hopeful, and will have you rooting for both these women while you are vicariously experiencing all this wedding and family drama.  There's a wonderful cast of supporting characters too, those you'll love and those that will have you rolling your eyes..  I already miss all the wedding people - don't miss this wonderful book!  Helen Laser's narration only added to the perfection.
