'Best read of the year' THE TIMES
'Books as fun as this one are few and far between' GUARDIAN
'Sharp, funny and a joy to read' OBSERVER
Phoebe Stone arrives at a grand beachside hotel in Rhode Island 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.
When the bride discovers her elaborate destination wedding could be ruined by a divorced and depressed stranger, she is furious. Lila 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.
Hilarious and moving, The Wedding People is an irresistible novel about love, friendship, dysfunctional families, and the unexpected paths that lead to happiness.

Resumo da Crítica
The Wedding People is the perfect book to wrap up your summer reading. It is heartwarming, hilarious, it's a love story - it's about love, loss and the people who come into our lives and change it forever. You guys are going to love this book! (Jenna Bush Hager, The Today Show's #ReadwithJenna)
The the best read of the year so far
Fans of Sorrow and Bliss will, like me, adore The Wedding People, which is my book of the summer. As soon as I'd finished it, I wanted to read it all over again!
Espach's writing reminds me of Katherine Heiny's - keenly observant, ruthlessly honest, quietly elegant and utterly charming, with the ability to make you quietly weep when you least expect it . . . Nothing turns out the way anybody plans - but exactly as it should. I loved it (Pandora Sykes)
The Wedding People is a wickedly funny and deeply satisfying novel about a woman with nothing to lose, armed with a green dress, some chocolate wine, and a coconut pillow, cut loose to cause delightful mayhem. It's a story of lovers who turn into strangers, strangers who turn into friends, and the weird and wonderful connections that make us feel truly alive. I loved it (Jenny Jackson)
Alison Espach! How does she do it? I mean, really - how? The Wedding People is so utterly, ringingly true it feels less like fiction than like a field guide to personhood. It's so funny and romantic that I sometimes laughed out loud and sometimes got actual goosebumps. I tore through it like I didn't have a disordered deficit of attention. It's a perfect novel. I loved it (Catherine Newman)
I loved it I loved it I loved it. This is pure joy in book form. I want to live in it. I did live in it, in this hotel by the ocean with these people who felt real and made me laugh and ache and WANT things for them. I cannot understate how brilliant it is. Do yourself a favour. Cancel all your plans, and read it. It brought the love back into my reading life, and I suspect it'll have the power to bring love back into readers' normal lives, too, such is the power of a living, breathing, beautiful story like this (Claire Daverley)
The Wedding People is an absolute masterpiece - darkly, achingly funny, deeply moving and just bursting with energy and wisdom. I was unable to put this beautiful novel down and lost a great deal of sleep in the process. Perfection (Rosie Walsh)
Espach is an immensely talented writer, and her prose unfolds with a devastating lightness of touch (Emily St. John Mandel)
I gulped down The Wedding People - I LOVED it! It's such a blast, so much fun to read and so funny, but also full of brilliant insights and heart-wrenching in parts - my favourite kind of book. A joyful reading experience (Emily Itami)
