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.

I first heard about The Wedding People last year when it came out and marked it as a book to read sometime down the line. However, when I began to see everyone and their mother reading and loving this book, I knew I had to get to it this summer.

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

    REAL & URGENT: EFFECTIVE SPELL CASTER TO BRING BACK EX LOVER AND SAVE MARRIAGE

    My name is Ariana Rothschild, and I’m sharing this with a grateful heart. After my husband left me for another woman, I was devastated and struggling to raise my two kids alone. I almost gave up—until I saw a testimony about Dr. Okoko and decided to contact him.

    After explaining my situation, he assured me I would see results within 24 hours. To my surprise, my husband returned the very next day, begging for forgiveness and promising never to leave again. We’ve been back together for 6 months now, happier than ever.

    Dr. Okoko truly delivers fast and effective results.

    I gave it all I had to make it work in my marriage but he still left me and our kids. His family fought for me and still nothing changed and he left broken and sad. I manage to keep going on with the hope everything will get better for us one day and he will be back to you. He is a great father to the kids and I had great belief I will see him return back to us. I was lucky enough to get in contact with Dr Masako who indeed knew how to fix the problem and he did and to my surprise, my husband came back home to me. I am still amazed how it was possible but indeed this is true. The result of his work is assured to manifest after 48 hours. My husband returned and I know better Dr Masako is truly an honest man anyone can trust. He is good at fixing problems between partners and having them get back together again. via Doctormasako@gmail. com WhatsApp on: +2349047144277
