I have never read a book with a premise like that of The Wedding People - and given how much I read, that’s pretty rare. Phoebe is ready to end her life and chooses to do so at a picturesque resort on the shores of the Atlantic. When she gets there, she is surprised to find the entire hotel is rented out by a wedding party for the week and it’s a fluke that she has been able to book a room. Undeterred, she decides to go forward with her plan anyway, only to be met by the bride-to-be in the elevator who begs her not to ruin her wedding week by ending her life.

What ensues is a truly unique story winding the two women’s lives together for the week. It’s a story of finding yourself at any age, and what it even means to know who you are. I simply loved it and know I will think of it often.
