"The Wedding People," by Alison Espach, is a novel that has a little something for everyone. This book has a blend of dark humor, hope, and love. The story is so unexpected and unique. 

The book starts with Phoebe Stone, the main character, arriving at the Cornwall Inn, in Newport, Rhode Island, completely alone with zero intention of ever leaving. Phoebe's plans are hindered when she meets Lila, a bridezilla who has rented out the hotel for her wedding week.
