If you like family drama stories then The Wedding People is for you.

I had to sit with my thoughts a bit before attempting a review. I enjoyed so much I gave it 5 stars. It’s a story that stays with you.

If you follow on IG and saw my recent story where I mentioned I wasn’t sure how to feel about it let me explain. I compare it to a horrible event that you are a witness to and you can’t not look. You try not to but you keep turning your head to watch everything unfold.

Let me give you a very brief synopsis. Phoebe has decided she is done with life and books a room at the Cornwall Inn in Rhode Island. Unbeknownst to her there is an exclusive wedding (week) starting the night she checks in. Lila has put together a $1 million wedding to Gary. We follow Lila and Phoebe through the entire wedding week.

First, who has an entire week of wedding events? Second, who spends a $1 million dollars on a wedding??? I was so thrown by both aspects. If we spent over $3000 for ours (George Strait concert included) I would be surprised. And I thought it was the best day ever. Family and friends that meant something to us were there and everyone enjoyed themselves.

I was not a fan of Lila. Spoiled, bratty, and childish. For being late 20s she has so much growing up to do. I would be embarrassed to act the way she did.

Phoebe was a character that you wanted to avoid but at the same time wrap her up and promise that life is not so bad. I would love a second book and see how she fared with her decisions she made at the end.

Theresa are a lot of possible triggers in this book. Suicidal thoughts, death of a parent/spouse, death of a pet, depression, and divorce. Nothing extensive or gory.

Prepare to be immersed in a story of drama that makes you think about your own life.
