Alison Espach says that she loves making people laugh, something that became a bigger part of her life after losing her brother as a teenager. On the Open Book with Jenna podcast, Espach, who wrote "The Wedding People," told Jenna Bush Hager that humor has "always been the thing that just kind of pushes me away from the darkest feeling." Jenna shared that her father also lost a sibling, a sister, and that her grandmother, Barbara Bush, told her that "humor helps" when things are hard. "It was so simple, but I think she just meant, like, thank God she had a husband that she liked to laugh with, you know, because they could get through things like that."

Introducing August's BookBar BookClub pick, and the perfect summer paperback, THE WEDDING PEOPLE 🍾🍾🍾
Reeling from her divorce and spiraling depression, literature professor Phoebe checks into a hotel she has always dreamed about visiting. But when she checks in she discovers that a huge wedding is taking place in the hotel the same weekend, and she is the only guest not involved in the wedding. As the bride gets wind of Phoebe's presence, she fears that this surplus guest may infringe on her perfect wedding plans, and a weekend of chaos ensues. The Wedding People is a superbly witty, generous and intelligent novel for fans of Sorrow and Bliss, Lily King and Katherine Heiny, that will make you laugh and cry, and ultimately, restore your faith in people.
We'll be chatting to the author, Alison Espach, for our virtual BookBar BookClub event in August, and members will then get to meet together to discuss the book. Just head to our website to sign up, including a copy of the book now. Or pop into either of our Islington or Chelsea branches this weekend to enjoy this brilliant summer read ☀️☀️☀️
We're open until 9pm tonight and Saturday and 6pm Sunday across both shops for 🍷📚☕
