I’m excited off to finish off my summer reading list with this Book of the Month— The Wedding Peopl by Alison Espach
The synopsis:
At the lowest point in her life, Phoebe Stone travels halfway across the country and checks into the Cornwall Inn in Newport Rhode Island, to have one last, expensive, luxurious, and glorious experience before she kills herself. This is the kind of getaway she has dreamed of having with her husband, who has recently informed her he is in love with someone else. But the Cornwall Inn is host that week to a wedding, and Phoebe is the only guest who is not part of the elaborate celebration. The bride has planned for every eventuality except for Phoebe and is appalled that Phoebe's suicide might ruin her Perfect Day. As the two women encounter each other with mistrust, become closer, and confide in each other, Phoebe becomes enmeshed with the wedding. All is not as it first appears to be, and as Phoebe's connections to the Wedding People continue to grow, she finds herself changing in ways she never imagined. Funny, tender, and far more than a simple rom-com.
Does this sound like a book you would read??
