The Wedding People

t’s a picture-perfect day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the elegant Cornwall Inn, dressed in her finest outfit and most uncomfortable shoes. Within moments, she’s mistaken for a wedding guest. The truth? She’s the only person at the beachside hotel not attending the lavish destination wedding.

Phoebe has dreamed of visiting Newport for years, once imagining romantic oyster shucking and sunset sails with her husband. But after a painful divorce, she’s left with only loneliness, too many gin and tonics, and the hum of an ice-making refrigerator to keep her company.

When the bride discovers that Phoebe’s unexpected presence could disrupt her flawless wedding weekend, sparks fly. After all, she’s planned for every detail, except this heartbroken stranger. But soon, both women realize life’s best moments often come from the disasters we never plan.

Blending romantic comedy, women’s fiction, and heartfelt storytelling, The Wedding People is a witty, moving novel about love, friendship, dysfunctional families, and second chances. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Elin Hilderbrand, and smart beach reads, this book will make you laugh, cry, and believe in unexpected happiness.
