Summary
Paul and Alice's half-sister Eloise is getting married! In London! There will be fancy hotels, dinners at "it" restaurants and a reception at a country estate complete with tea lights and embroidered cloth napkins. They couldn't hate it more. The People We Hate at the Wedding is the story of a less than perfect family. Donna, the matriarch, is now a widow with a penchant for the occasional joint and more than one glass of wine while watching home-decorating shows. Alice is in her thirties, single, smart, stuck in a dead-end job, and mired in a rather predictable affair with her married boss. Her brother, Paul, lives in Philadelphia with his older, handsomer boyfriend, who's recently been saying things like "Monogamy is an oppressive heteronormative construct." And then there's Eloise. Perfect, gorgeous, cultured Eloise. The product of Donna's first marriage to a dashing Frenchman, Eloise had a childhood at the best private boarding schools, and her post-college life has been cushioned by a fat, endless trust fund. To top it off, she's infuriatingly kind and decent. As this estranged clan gathers together, and Eloise's walk down the aisle approaches, Grant Ginder brings to life the complicated ways we hate the ones we love the most.--, Adapted from book jacket
