pick4.5⭐️ I really liked the book and it really lived up to the hype. I thought it might be a bit too schmaltzy, but I really liked how the characters were drawn and felt like the story ended well. #2025 #fiction #contemporary #wedding #literaryfiction
August was a little bit of a slower reading month for me. I finished The Wedding People last night and it was my favorite book I read in August.
August felt weird, temporally.
Glad to be in a new month, though I hope there are still a few beach days left now that we‘ve entered the quieter off-season here in Rhode Island. 🌊
I had a few writing projects this past month, which diverted my focus away from reading. Now, it feels like a slump may be looming. But anything‘s possible! We‘ll see what September brings.

pickThis was a good page turner. Interesting plot and characters. A good light-ish read. I loved the Mrs Dalloway and Jane eyre references
Not quite the long weekend for me yet; I work tomorrow. But I am starting this book tonight.
pickFinished this wonderful book last night when all the guests had left collapsed with my teddy 🐶and used my new reading light - isn‘t it fantastic to sit out on warm evenings (don‘t get many in the uk 🇬🇧 😆) this book is now in my top ten of best books of the year , it is laugh out loud funny, it is 💔 heartbreaking & equally heart warming, sums up weddings perfectly, I adored Phoebe & knew where the story was going but still adored it
pick“Every wedding, even a successful wedding, is a waste…But…”
I‘ve been thinking about weddings a lot, as I write my sister‘s wedding ceremony, with my side hustle as an officiant & my husband‘s profession as a photographer, in the full swing of wedding season. It‘s also our 10th wedding anniversary next week! And let me tell you, the above quote is 100% true. But so is the “but.” At least, that‘s what I tell myself to justify the waste. 😅👇🏻
Now this is more like it ! Oh I love 🥰 Phoebe I wanna take her out for cocktails 🍸 and talk all night , I sat up way way past my bedtime 🥱 reading this and had to give up when my eyes were closing - loving it 🥰 and highly recommend; Alison espachs writing ✍️ reminds me of the brilliant Katherine heiny
