The Wedding People by Alison EspachMy rating: 4.5 stars
4.5 stars. I enjoyed this way more than I thought I would, but I also seem to have bias against certain types of cover art? Anyway, Phoebe is an amazing protagonist, and the book is full of characters who are hiding behind façades, and Espach lets us see that so that they don't become caricatures. The initial premise doesn't seem like it would be very funny--and it isn't--but the story is so very human and redemptive in that the characters get to be real people, making real choices. A delightful read. As it is part of my Tournament of Books 2025 list read, I'll say I enjoyed it more than Margo's Got Money Troubles, which is a good comparative in terms of style/genre.
