“As narrator, the terrific Laser, an actress and puppeteer, only enhances the swoon-worthy quirks and romance.”\u2014Vulture<\/p>\n

A propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she\u2019s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn\u2019t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she\u2019s dreamed of coming for years\u2014she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she\u2019s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe’s plan\u2014which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can\u2019t stop confiding in each other.<\/p>\n

In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach\u2019s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined\u2014and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.<\/p>\n

A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.<\/p>\n

Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Customers find this novel to be a delightful read with well-developed characters and humor that balances serious topics with moments of hilarity. Moreover, the book contains many life lessons and is emotionally touching, with one customer noting how the balance between melancholy and delight is beautiful. However, the pacing receives mixed reactions, with some finding it engaging while others say it drags on, and the plot twists are also mixed, with some appreciating the many twists and turns while others find it predictable.<\/span><\/p>\n
