The Wedding People by Alison Espach

4.0

I liked this ... although not getting around to my review in a timely manner, I'm finding myself thinking "what was the story?"  I had both the audio and kindle copy. I went with the audio, reviewing the text afterward. Making some notes (a few book quotes). For the rather dark start, it ended up more of a romantic comedy. It was fairly predictable (not all the little things along the way, but the ultimate resolution). 

This addressed Covid (just how it impacted things/relationships/employment ... part of the past memories). 

3rd person/Present tense ... which is not a combo I enjoy. Unless it's really well written, I'm always very aware of it, it feels like a screenplay. LOTS of "says" too ... kindle search, says was there 1902 times. 

This stays chronological (there are some flashback memories) and is set up in seven parts, seven days ... 1) Tuesday: The Opening Reception  2)Wednesday: Sailing  3)Thursday: The Bachelorette Party  4) Friday: The Blending of the Families  5) Saturday: The Rehearsal Dinner  6)Sunday: The Wedding  7)Monday: The Wedding Brunch  ... several chapters in each part (24 chapters total). 

ProFanity x85 and some sexual situations, nothing Harlequin.

Snuck. 
Whitman was right. How lucky it would be to die ...
