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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach's\u003ci\u003e The Wedding People\u003c\/i\u003e is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined--and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlison Espach\u003c\/b\u003e is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Wedding People\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Editor's Choice, a \u003ci\u003eToday \u003c\/i\u003eShow Read With Jenna Book Club Pick, a Barnes \u0026amp; Noble Book Club Pick, and a #1 Indie Next Pick. \u003ci\u003eThe Wedding People\u003c\/i\u003e spent several dozen weeks on the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e Best Seller list and will be published in over 35 countries.
