People We Hate at the Wedding

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kristen Bell, Allison Janney and Ben Platt! "ItÆs for the same audience that flocked to The Nest, WhereÆd You Go, Bernadette? or dare I say a little book you might be a fan of, Crazy Rich Asians." ù Kevin Kwan, New York Times bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians "Sinfully good." ù Elin Hilderbrand Entertainment Weekly's Summer Must-Read A Publishers Weekly BEST SUMMER BOOKS, 2017 New York Post Best Books of Summer Redbook's 10 Books You Have To Read This Summer Relationships are awful. They'll kill you, right up to the point where they start saving your life. Paul and AliceÆs half-sister Eloise is getting married! In London! There will be fancy hotels, dinners at ôitö restaurants and a reception at a country estate complete with tea lights and embroidered cloth napkins. They couldnÆt hate it more. The People We Hate at the Wedding is the story of a less than perfect family. Donna, the clanÆs mother, is now a widow living in the Chicago suburbs with a penchant for the occasional joint and more than one glass of wine with her best friend while watching House Hunters International. Alice is in her thirties, single, smart, beautiful, stuck in a dead-end job where she is mired in a rather predictable, though enjoyable, affair with her married boss. Her brother Paul lives in Philadelphia with his older, handsomer, tenured track professor boyfriend whoÆs recently been saying things like ômonogamy is an oppressive heteronormative construct,ö while eyeing undergrads. And then thereÆs Eloise. Perfect, gorgeous, cultured Eloise. The product of DonnaÆs first marriage to a dashing Frenchman, Eloise has spent her school years at the best private boarding schools, her winter holidays in St. John and a post-college life cushioned by a fat, endless trust fund. To top it off, sheÆs infuriatingly kind and decent. As this estranged clan gathers together, and Eloise's walk down the aisle approaches, Grant Ginder brings to vivid, hilarious life the power of family, and the complicated ways we hate the ones we love the most in the most bitingly funny, slyly witty and surprisingly tender novel youÆll read this year.
