Let me start by saying, I devoured this book in two sittings. The Wedding People is not just another light-hearted read; it's a story that lingers with you, making you reflect on life, love, and the messy beauty of human connections.

The protagonist, Phoebe, is someone I instantly connected with. Her journey from despair to self-discovery is both raw and relatable. The way she stumbles into a wedding party and becomes an unlikely confidante to strangers is brilliantly written. It’s darkly humorous yet deeply emotional—I found myself laughing out loud one moment and tearing up the next.

What sets this book apart is its ability to balance wit with profound insights. The author, Espach, has a knack for capturing the loneliness that can exist even in crowded rooms. The pacing does slow in some sections, but the emotional depth more than makes up for it.

If you’re looking for a book that’s smart, witty, and thought-provoking, this is it. It’s not your typical rom-com; it’s so much more. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys stories about authenticity, bravery, and the power of new beginnings.
