2024 book 175

 Alison Espach's The Wedding People

On the face of it, I should be rolling my eyes reading a novel about a depressed, recently divorced, adjunct professor who encounters a hotel full of people celebrating a “wedding week,” but the narrative voice was so immediately engaging AND Christina recommended this to me, so I was actually super into it! I don’t want to say more about the plot, because I enjoyed seeing things unfold without knowing anything about it. Lots of good discussions of books too (the protagonist works on 19th century lit, particularly Jane Eyre). Very satisfying read. A/A-.
