The Wedding People by Alison Espach [Book Review]
17 FEB 2025 Every reader knows how rare it is to come across a book that moves you to the core. An ode to the humanness of life, this book made me feel seen, more courageous, and a renewed faith in the beauty of what we can be to each other.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I’m a 20-something year old living in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. I’m a lover of life - in particular, sunsets over the ocean, thunderstorms, niche playlists, long meandering novels, and all cats. Fieldnotes are detailed observations collected by anthropologists, sociologists, and ethnographers while situated in an environment of interest; the obsessive intensity to learn and grasp and make sense of phenomena during the collection of fieldnotes is the way that feels most reflective of the way I live life. My fieldnotes serve as reminders for me of how beautiful, short, and stunning life is.
