Phoebe Stone’s life has fallen apart. Her college sweetheart and husband of several years has not only cheated on her with a work colleague but is also divorcing her. Her job no longer carries any meaning for her and she can’t finish her book to save herself. And on top of everything, her cat has died. Unable to take it anymore, Phoebe makes a spontaneous trip to Newport, Rhode Island and booked the best room at a high end hotel. But when she arrives, she finds the entire hotel is booked for a lavish wedding that weekend. Before Phoebe realizes it, she’s pulled into the wedding’s drama and it might just be up to Phoebe to make sure the thing goes off without a hitch.
And I’m so happy I did.
The Wedding People, on the outside, seems like a typical romantic comedy book but I found it to be so much deeper than that. It’s a story about life, and the ups and downs of it. It was relatable and the characters were so flushed out that it felt like I actually knew this people.
Now, to be as transparent as possible without revealing spoilers, I do want to add a trigger warning to this book that I don’t think anyone really talks about because, when I read it, I was shocked as I hadn’t been expecting it.
A large part of the book deals with frank discussions of suicide, particularly in the first chapter. It completely took my surprise since, as the book summary suggests, it’s a story that doesn’t deal with a lot of deep topics. But, it does and suicide is the most prevalent so be aware of that going into the story. The author does handle it the topic well and I found it to be very believable.
Despite this, I really enjoyed this book and the biggest strength of it is, as I mentioned, the characters. I loved all of them and would love to see them again in another story, even if the end of The Wedding People concludes everyone’s story in a thoughtful way.
I did have to knock off a star, however, because I did feel the story went on for too long. If it had been shortened up a bit, it would be an easy five stars. Nonetheless, you should pick this one up. It is 100% worth the hype.
4.5 stars out of 5

Here is my testimony.. I thought it was over for me when my ex left. I gave all I had for the relationship to work but it was all failure. 4month after my partner left me for another person, I was introduced to Dr Masako and he helped me bring back my ex in 24hours. Now we are fully married and I am 2months pregnant. I promised Dr Masako that I will tell everybody about him if it works. I am very glad to be living a happy life with my love. He did it for me and I am 100% sure that he will do yours. I am a living example. Contact him directly: Doctormasako@gmail.com
