The Wedding People by Alison Espach
5.0
I went into this book expecting one thing and got something completely different, and wow— what a fun, wild ride this book was. It’s a book that will stay with me for a long time. It’s raw, heartfelt, hilarious, and introspective.
While I want to provide a summary, I feel like half the fun of this one is going into it completely blind. It was far darker than I anticipated, but still laugh out loud funny at times, and so full of hope. I really appreciated the levity of the dark humor in this one. There is some self discovery, some romance, and a lot of reflections on life— disappointment, loneliness, marriage, friendship + more. Every character felt real, relatable and also someone you want to root for. It was paced perfectly, had incredible character development and lessons along the way.
I laughed, I cried. I didn’t want it to end.
