Narrator Helen Laser did a wonderful job of narrating The Wedding People. I listened at 1.75x. This is my fourth book by this narrator. I have enjoyed all the books she has narrated. They include If Something Happens to Me, Yellowface, and The Second Chance Year.
Bookish Thoughts: I wasn’t sure what to think of this novel that started off kind of depressing. Phoebe Stone has hit rock bottom and runs into a wedding group staying at the same hotel she is at. Thankfully, Phoebe’s story takes a positive turn when she is befriended by the future bride. This book is hilarious, thought provoking and full of witty banter. There is some explicit language that I didn’t care for but overall I enjoyed this emotional story about love, relationships and overcoming adversity.

I was captivated by this multigenerational family who struggles with identity and what it means to be an American. This was a more character driven story in which the development was outstanding as events unfolded. Told across a span of several decades, I really enjoyed this book and came to really connect with the characters. As far as the ending, it was good and left me feeling satisfied.

I am probably the last person to have read Shiner, Author Amy Jo Burns first fiction novel, which I have heard many great things about. When the opportunity came up to read and review her new book, Mercury, I immediately signed up. I never knew a family who owned a roofing company would excite me, but it did. This was a slow burn family drama with a beautiful description of place that pulled me in. I empathized with some of the characters and was invested to see how they developed throughout the story. Pre-order this one if you enjoy reading stories with family secrets, unforgettable characters and a mystery element that will keep you turning the pages.
