A Today Show #ReadwithJenna Book Club Pick

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.

    Wonderful in every way. I fell in love with the characters. I usually breeze through light reads, but instead I savored this one. Beautifully written!

    This is the kind of book you can’t put down even though it is well past your bedtime. The characters become friends in your head. You shrug off the next day’s responsibilities and stay in bed reading because you just have to see what becomes of the characters who have been so artfully described throughout the book. This has been my favorite book of the year.
  • Loved it

    I loved this book. It’s one of those stories that is going to stick with me for a very long time. You can see yourself in almost every character and I loved the writing style. Felt like one of those books that I needed at just the right time.
