Fiction phenom Alison Espach is the author behind The Wedding People, a genre-straddling novel which holds company with the most anticipated and bestselling books of 2024. When newly minted divorcée Phoebe Stone arrives alone to the posh Cornwall Inn in Newport, Rhode Island, she finds herself an accidental wedding crasher. Surprise follows surprise as Phoebe strikes up a unique rapport with bride Lila, who needs a confidante every bit as much as her last-minute bridesmaid. People calls it “a feel-good testament to the life-altering magic of chance meetings.” Early honors for The Wedding People included selection as a TODAY Show #ReadwithJenna Book Club pick, as a Barnes and Noble Book Club Pick, and as the #1 Indie Next Pick for August 2024. It has been published in more than 20 countries to date. Alison Espach’s prior novels include Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance, a Chicago Tribune and NPR “Best Book of 2022,” as well as The Adults (2011), a New York Times Editor’s Choice.
