The Wedding of the Year turns disastrous in this twisty family drama full of lies and betrayals, perfect for fans of Laura Dave, Lucy Foley, and Ruth Ware.
One year after a devastating hurricane, bride-to-be Ruth Bancroft is marrying her perfect groom in a quaint fishing village on the Gulf Coast. The weekend is carefully curated, with the displays of pomp and social media magic meant to promote an area still struggling to rebuild as well as bring Ruth’s estranged family back together.
Yet as good intentions often go, this road to wed is hell and paved in complications. With tensions rising between the family and the bridal party, long-buried secrets come to light, and accusations start flying. Things officially spiral out of control when the oceanfront rehearsal dinner is rocked by a series of gunshots, and a high-profile guest goes missing. As the investigation gets underway, it turns out that everyone has something to hide.
Big Little Lies meets The Guest List in this gripping page turner that asks the big questions about messy family liaisons, modern media, and the lies we tell the world.

      Ruth Bancroft wanted an intimate beach wedding. Instead, her influencer sister Sophia is turning it into the season's social event in Wiggins' first domestic thriller. As the wedding festivities near, and the social media engagement ramps up, tensions rise, and secrets unravel. It all culminates in a disastrous rehearsal dinner ending in gunshots and a missing guest, making the awaited event unlikely to take place. Hearing from multiple points of view, the audience gets to know each character well, and even the least likable players have depth. Ruth makes for a solid protagonist who does not read as cloying, and the setting of a beach town after a devastating hurricane feels oddly prescient. The Good Bride will appeal to fans of Lucy Foley's The Guest List (2020) as well as to fans of toxic family dramas like Liane Moriarty's Three Wishes (2003) and E. Lockhart's We Were Liars (2014). This will satisfy anyone seeking a well-crafted weekend read with cleverly integrated plot twists.
