“Maybe this is just what it means to be a person. to constantly reckon with being a single being in one body. Maybe everybody sits up at night and creates arguments in their head for why they are the loneliest person in the world.”

pickVery good. Follows one woman who thinks her life is over but she gets involved in a stranger's wedding and finds a way to reinvent herself. Very life affirming.

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
