A review by illstoptheworldandreadwithyou
The Wedding People by Alison Espach

5.0

 

Let me start this off by saying that I love this book. Truly, I do. We see humor and connection, vulnerability and depictions of how, with some people, things just seem to click. We see what it feels like to be stuck, and there’s representation of how sometimes people just really, truly need to experience change in their lives. 

 

I loved lots about this one, especially the banter and the tender moments. 

 

BUT I feel like the published book description makes this seem like more of a light-hearted read than it is. I’ll drop content/trigger warnings at the bottom of this review. (Feel free to skip them if you’d like to go in blind.) Just know that the FMC starts off in a dark place. 

 

I highly recommend listening to this one on audio for Helen Laser’s superb narration. She’s quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators. 

 

I received an advance copy of the audiobook from Macmillan Audio. All review opinions are my own.
