The Wedding People by Alison Espach

This buzzy novel follows Phoebe Stone, a young woman who crashes a Newport, Rhode Island, wedding. She is looking for a weekend getaway, a sort of last hurrah as she’s hit rock bottom. The bride has planned for every part of her wedding weekend, except for Phoebe, who becomes a bigger part of the event than either of them could have anticipated.
