A propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew. It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other. In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined—and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.

Each attendee must purchase (or borrow!) and read the entire book before we meet. Our discussion will be led by Jordyn Roesler, who brings a passion for literature that will add an exciting dimension to our discussions. Her insights are sure to spark thought-provoking conversations that will leave us all pondering long after the meeting ends.

Each attendee will receive the option to purchase a good stuff to take home. It's our way of adding a touch of sweetness to your reading journey. Additionally, a range of beverages will be provided to keep us refreshed and energized throughout the discussion.

Whether you're a casual reader or a devoted bookworm, the Bakehouse Bookclub welcomes all who have a love for the written word. We believe that stories have the power to bring people together and ignite meaningful conversations, and we're excited to create a space where these connections can flourish.
