Sometimes the best books are the ones that sneak up on you. The Wedding People starts with Phoebe in one of the darkest places a person can be, but Alison Espach has crafted something unexpectedly beautiful from that premise—a story that's equal parts heartbreaking and hilarious.What makes this novel special is how it uses the compressed timeframe of a single week to create genuine intimacy with its characters. We're essentially trapped at a resort wedding with Phoebe, watching her reluctantly get pulled into the chaos of other people's lives. Enter Lila, the bride who becomes an unlikely lifeline. Their relationship develops with such natural progression that you barely notice Phoebe transforming from someone ready to give up on everything to someone willing to engage with the messy, complicated business of being human again.Espach has a gift for ensemble storytelling—each wedding guest feels fully realized rather than just comic relief or plot device. They orbit around Phoebe's story in ways that feel organic, each contributing to her slow journey back to herself. The humor throughout never feels manufactured or desperate for laughs. Instead, it emerges naturally from the absurdity of wedding culture and the way people behave when they're thrown together in high-stress, high-emotion situations.By the time the wedding ends, you realize you've witnessed something quite remarkable: a story about suicidal ideation that manages to be genuinely funny and ultimately hopeful without ever minimizing the weight of mental health struggles. It's a delicate balance that Espach pulls off beautifully.The Wedding People proves that sometimes the most profound healing happens in the most unlikely places—like being accidentally adopted by someone else's wedding party.

Started with amazing plot and promising pace but soon dwindled into a boring story which I kept reading in the pursuit of something happening on next page but it never did.The quirkiness and crispness of book nosedived like a free falling object and ended with a thud without a noise.

Not rating the book but the quality of book. If only I could give any less star. The printing of cover and pages are so worst. And the bookmark was cheap.And so disappointed by this purchase.
