The Wedding People by Alison Espach

3.25

The Wedding People by Alison Espach was an enjoyable read, though not one that left me in awe. It’s the kind of book I’m glad I picked up after all the hype last year, but it’s definitely a one-time deal for me—not something I’d re-read.

What stood out was the author’s ability to take serious topics, like suicidal thoughts and infertility, and weave them into a story so absurd that it brings much-needed comedic relief. Espach strikes a balance between addressing heavy themes and lightening the tone with humor, which is no easy feat.

While it didn’t blow me away, it was still a solid, entertaining read, and I can see why it resonated with so many people.
