The Wedding People by Alison Espach is about the aftermath of pivotal life changes.
Main character Phoebe arrives at a beautiful inn in Rhode Island. It would seem as though she’s on a solo vacation following a painful divorce from her husband Matt.
Spoilers ahead- Instead, it turns out she’s at the inn to commit suicide. The only problem is she’s the only inn guest who is not part of Lila and Gary’s wedding. She begins getting tangled up in wedding events, which fortunately changes her original goal.
Through the story, Phoebe reflects on her marriage and career while figuring out who she would like to be in her new life. She becomes an important part of the weeklong wedding celebrations while also finding her own potential love interest.
Espach’s writing includes an eye for detail, humor and an engaging plot. The relationship tension felt reminiscent of a Lifetime movie and kept me engaged until the very end!
