VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

The Wedding People by Alison Espach

The 2026 One Book One Wallingford title

After adjunct English professor Phoebe Stone's husband leaves her for a colleague, she resigns from her job and checks into a luxury hotel in Newport, Rhode Island, where she plans to end her life. She doesn't count on the hotel being filled with wedding guests, or meeting the bride who, after hearing of Phoebe's plans, does everything she can to keep Phoebe alive. Slowly but surely, Phoebe becomes a member of the wedding party and discovers that life may well be worth living.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. For details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
