'UTTERLY CHARMING' PANDORA SYKES

'A PERFECT NOVEL' CATHERINE NEWMAN
'THE BEST READ OF THE YEAR SO FAR' THE TIMES
It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at a grand beachside hotel wearing her best dress and least comfortable shoes. Immediately she is mistaken for one of the wedding people - but she's actually the only guest at the Cornwall Inn who isn't here for the big event.
Phoebe has dreamed of coming here for years. She hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband but now she is divorced and depressed, and not sure how to go on. She's not been sure how to do anything, lately, except climb into bed and drink gin and tonics and listen to the sound of the refrigerator making ice.
When the bride discovers her elaborate destination wedding could be ruined by this sad stranger, she is furious. She has spent months accounting for every detail and every possible disaster - except for, well, Phoebe . . . Soon, both women find their best-laid plans derailed and an unlikely confidante in one another.
Uproariously funny and devastatingly tender, The Wedding People is an irresistible novel about love, friendship, dysfunctional families, and the unexpected paths that lead to happiness.©2024 Alison Espach (P)2024 Orion Publishing Group Limited

A clever and intriguing story of love & life
A book that keeps you wanting more - a modern love story that makes you think about life’s choices. The narration is perfect and the characters are wonderful. Sad now I’ve finished it.

Yes
Very unexpected that I really enjoyed this book. There is a seriousness, humour and a lightheartedness to this book. A very explicit beginning middle and end. Throughly enjoyed this.

Humorous, touching, reflective
This book made me feel brave, made me want to be myself. It made me laugh out loud once or twice and giggle often. You think it’s going to be predictable, but even if it is, not in the ways you expect. It leaves you feeling bright, wanting to know people who want to know you with total honesty.

Enraptured, Engrossed & Engaged
This book was not what I thought it would be, but was exactly what I needed. It was utterly beguiling, thought provoking and intelligent. The author showed her love and understanding of literature and life, as well as her characters and the story being spun. I was enraptured, engrossed and engaged throughout. Now I’m bereft, to have finished it, but happy too.

Sound quality not great
Sound quality kept changing, so you could tell when things had been recorded at different times and inserted.

Loved this book
Loved the story and the characters & the setting. I didn't want it to end. I would have given it six stars if they were available
