If you're looking for a summer read that portrays an intimate connection of a woman experiencing depression and her journey of moving forward with her life as a unexpected guest for an upscale wedding at a fancy Rhode Island hotel, The Wedding People provides that and more. While the ending felt a bit lackluster at some parts, Espach's introspective writing and Phoebe's narrative of the events that take place over the wedding week gives reader an in-depth, emotional read that ultimately leaves readers inspired to make the most out of life.

This book was described as a laugh out loud, romance…

It wasn’t funny, just odd. There wasn’t a hint of romance, it was just written that characters decided they liked eachother. 

The ending was rushed and honestly ruined the book for me, I feel like with the right ending this could’ve been a solid 4 stars. 

I enjoyed the chaos of it all, and wished I got to see more development of the characters or themes. There were many challenging themes but they were talked about very lightly, I didn’t really get any emotion from them. 

The ex husband coming to visit 2 years later was unnecessary and was honestly a waste of time.

There were no clear chapters? 

I honestly think this could’ve been a great book, but it was just very under developed.

This book had so much emotional depth. While suicide is a main theme initially, the story transforms into an experience of radical self-acceptance and redemption as the characters learn how to navigate living authentically, even if it costs them everything they thought they ever wanted.

This book is certainly not lighthearted, but I really appreciated the author/characters making jokes in difficult or dark situations because that is also one of my tendencies/coping mechanisms. I found it a pretty funny book although parts were very dark and hard to get through. I found the relationship between the main characters to be funny, surprising, and enjoyable.
