🌊 The Wedding People by Alison Espach 🌊

MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

On a sunny day in Newport, Phoebe arrives alone at the Cornwall Inn, mistaken for a wedding guest.

She came dreaming of a getaway with her husband—now gone—but soon, she and the bride form an unexpected bond amid the celebrations.

I was so excited to read this and it did not disappoint. The writing was incredible, and though this was largely character focused, I really enjoyed the plots and how the story moved along. There were so many moments about feeling tenderness for yourself and just experiencing emotions and life that made this book feel so human. While it was tender and emotional, it was also hilarious and relatable and hopeful. I adored this and highly recommend it, and I can’t wait to read this authors other books! 

Read this if you like: 

• beautiful writing
• personal growth 
• explorations of human struggle and emotion
• tenderness 

Vibes: 🥂🛥️🏎️🐱👰🏼‍♀️💍➡️

Song that matches the vibe: Light On by Maggie Rogers

I have not laughed out loud while reading a book in a long time. This was witty and reflective. It handled so much difficult subject matter with a fuck ton of grace and love. A perfect little summer read.

when presented w the decision to smash or pass on this book I will smash every time. Started dark but then was so funny and kind of absurd, yet perspective shifting and deeply tender concerning loving the self!! This was so well written, the story will stay w me for a while. Love the Newport setting too, less rich people being crazy more convening w the sea and escapism
