April Book Selection:The Wedding People by Allison Espach
Details
Note Change in Books: Our April Book Club Selection – The Wedding People by Allison Espach
We originally had The Correspondent slated for April. However, due to it still being on the #1 bestseller list, it will be quite a while before we can get it at the library. At our January book club meeting, we decided to select a different book for April and hold off on The Correspondent until it is better available at libraries.
So our book for April is The Wedding People by Allison Espach.
About the Book:
The runaway New York Times bestseller with over one million copies sold
A Today Show #ReadwithJenna Book Club Pick, New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and a #1 Indie Next Pick
A propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew.
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event.
Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years―she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan―which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other.
Genre: Women’s Fiction
Publication Date: July 30, 2024
How To Get a Copy:
I am no longer requesting copies through the Grayslake library as most people are getting their copies at their own libraries or through Amazon or Libby.
Restaurant:
We will meet in their back room. They will provide us with separate checks so either have dinner or, at the least, appetizer or desert.
