A propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew.
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.
In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined—and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.
A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

Cate Kay knows how to craft a story. As the creator of a bestselling book trilogy that struck box office gold as a film series, she’s one of the most successful authors of her generation.

Tragic heiress, former tabloid princess, and daughter of one of the most storied (and scandalous) families of the 20th Century.

Ce que les critiques en disent
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice
The #1 Indie Next Pick for August 2024
One of The Washington Post’s 10 Noteworthy Books for July and August
Named a Best Book of Summer 2024 by People Magazine, Bustle, Star Tribune, Goodreads, and LitHub
“The Wedding People is the perfect book to wrap up your summer reading. . . . heartwarming [and] hilarious.”
—Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show's #ReadwithJenna
“The Wedding People is so much more than a funny story (though it is very funny). Espach has penned a keenly observed novel about depression, love, the ways women make themselves small, and how one woman got over it. Fully realized and completely memorable.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“Espach’s wit and warmth deliver a gratifying story about how people who have given up might find a reason to start caring again.”
—Becky Meloan, The Washington Post

engaging story
I really enjoyed this and could not stop listening. it's a good story and while not overly surprising it's still enjoyable. I'd recommend it if you are looking for a continuous listen of sorts.

Very well read
This book surprised me with how much I loved it. It was read so well I could not stop listening. This story felt so touching and so real. Going from that immensely dark heartbreak and pain to her finding her light again felt like I was going through it right along with her.

A bit juvenile
Read that it was a great story. But it was mediocre. A story of spoiled rich people.

Pretty good!
This story was very interesting to read. I enjoyed it, but at times it was easy to tune out. The first half was exciting, and then it gets a little more predictable as you get to know the characters. I think a lot of people will be able to relate to the characters in different ways. Al in all, a good read :)

A story with depth, warmth and humour
I love Phoebe. She is so vulnerable and strong and wise and also sometimes a real dumbass. The cast of characters that surrounds Phoebe are equally loveable and weird and surprisingly real, considering that they’re fiction.

Touching and relatable
I enjoyed the story but I wish the author did not include two plot spoilers for classic novels I haven't read yet. That was disappointing.

not funny
I looked up funny books and this was a top 5 pick.
I have no idea why though?
it is about a woman who's husband cheated on her, then she goes to a hotel to commit suicide. the bride finds her and pleads for her not to do it.
I kept waiting and waiting thinking "maybe next chapter it will start being funny & not depressing."
Not very happy with this book choice... had to force myself to finish it.

Not predictable
This book was surprisingly….surprising! It should come with a trigger warning that the main character is suicidal at the start and the theme is raised throughout but the story is not dark. The characters are entertaining and often more complex than they seem at first.
I’ve been reading a lot of fluffy books lately to fill the time, and this one was a nice change. Easy listening but with more depth. Highly recommend.
