Summary

A darkly funny novel from a fresh new voice in fiction about brides, lovers, friends, and family, and all the secrets that come with them。

Tiny McAllister never thought she’d get married。 Not because she didn’t want to, but because she didn’t think girls from Connecticut married other girls。 Yet here she is with Caroline, the love of her life, at their destination wedding on the Bermuda coast。 In attendance—their respective families and a few choice friends。 The conflict-phobic Tiny hopes for a beautiful weekend with her bride-to-be。 But as the weekend unfolds, it starts to feel like there’s a skeleton in every closet of the resort。

From Tiny’s family members, who find the world is changing at an uncomfortable speed, to Caroline’s parents, who are engaged in conspiratorial whispers, to their friends, who packed secrets of their own—nobody seems entirely forthcoming。 Not to mention the conspicuous no-show and a tempting visit from the past。 What the celebration really needs now is a monsoon to help stir up all the long-held secrets, simmering discontent, and hidden agendas。

All Tiny wanted was to get married, but if she can make it through this squall of a wedding, she might just leave with more than a wife。

Fabulous beach read! Real page turner。 Captivating story full of surprises。 Tiny became my hero! Love how normal alternative has become。 What is it about families? So many secrets。 Liz Parker does a great job weaving a stormy mess of a weekend into a fantastic lesson for a few while others fall by the wayside。

A great hybrid of "beach read" and character-driven, dysfunctional family story! ALL ARE WELCOME will transport you to the pink-sands of Bermuda under a sunny sky, with a plot full of character entanglements destined to turn dark and stormy (cocktail pun intended)。 The book starts out as a character study of two very waspy families from Greenwich, CT as they convene for Tiny and Caroline's destination wedding。 Here, the title "All Are Welcome" invites the reader to pick up on its irony -- are "a A great hybrid of "beach read" and character-driven, dysfunctional family story! ALL ARE WELCOME will transport you to the pink-sands of Bermuda under a sunny sky, with a plot full of character entanglements destined to turn dark and stormy (cocktail pun intended)。 The book starts out as a character study of two very waspy families from Greenwich, CT as they convene for Tiny and Caroline's destination wedding。 Here, the title "All Are Welcome" invites the reader to pick up on its irony -- are "all" really welcome in the country-club-membership-obsessed world of Connecticut WASPs? Can Tiny really trust her family's politically-correct but rather superficially-proclaimed acceptance of the LGBT world, and more importantly, of her, specifically? Insecurities abound in a culture where appearances matter most。 Then, about 1/3 in, the book takes on a light mystery element, as the reader starts to pick up on the fact that there may be some ulterior motives behind this wedding! I won't say more for the sake of avoiding spoilers, but it will keep you turning pages。 RECOMMENDED FOR: Fans of Emma Straub's ALL ADULTS HERE and THE VACATIONERS, Georgia Clark's IT HAD TO BE YOU, and the recent holiday Hulu hit HAPPIEST SEASON starring Kristen Stewart and Mackenzie Davis。 。。。more
