Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager has chosen The Wedding People by Alison Espach (Holt) as her August Read with Jenna book club pick. The book "unfolds over a wedding weekend as two women's opposing plans converge, and compete, at a luxurious hotel in Newport, Rhode Island."
"It's about where we are when we're in the middle of our life and expectations versus reality," Jenna said. "It's about love and friendship and finding that love when you least expect it. I think you will love this book if you want to laugh, maybe shed a couple tears, but also just have a lot of fun."
Author Alison Espach said, "Here are these two women who are experiencing, like, the most important week of their life for very different reasons. Their experiences are heightened. They're about to make these big, permanent decisions and change their lives forever. It was a place to start exploring the kind of connection that could grow and evolve out of that similarity between them."
