The Wedding People

I found this book so endearing. I wasn't expecting to like it so much (I hate the cover art) (I also hate whenever fiction references the pandemic. it feels like uncanny valley - weirdly crossing the fourth wall). throughout reading this I genuinely looked forward to slipping into this hopeful, tender, empathetic, gentle, sturdy world. the story somehow avoided corny and just felt genuinely and earnestly tender (saying that word again). it touched me!
