Weddings are fun! ALL ARE WELCOME is one destination wedding that you don't want to miss!
The book is charming, funny, and filled with memorable characters. There are 11 people who come together for three activity filled days of togetherness. Just add a nonstop open bar and a few competing agendas and anything can happen. Just like the drama of a real wedding!
The brides are two women from wealthy white families, who know their most important obligation is to always keep up appearances. Repression is a family legacy! Their parents, who have been friends for years, are the absolute masters of looking good. 72 hours of togetherness, proves to be too long for some guests to remain on their best behavior. The cracks are showing and the gloves eventually come off.
This is a wedding you won't want to miss. There is a lot more going on here than fun. This book pokes fun at the WASP stereotypical lifestyle and thoughtfully explores the conflicting emotions of parents who love their children, but are uncomfortable with the fact they are gay. The author makes some meaningful observations about acceptance, inclusiveness, finding happiness, and how hard it can be to actually be authentic and open with others. Opening up to each other is the true expression of love. These people really love each other, but are terrible at expressing it. Seeing these realistic, empathetic, characters choose love over fear made me happy for them and sad to finish the book.
I really enjoyed ALL ARE WELCOME!

family drama galore
ALL ARE WELCOME by @wizpower @amazonpublishing was an engrossing read right from the get go. Just within the first few chapters you knew this book was going to be filled with tons of drama with absolutely everyone involved. The story centers on Tiny McAllister and her upcoming nuptials to Caroline, the love of her life, held at a small destination wedding in Bermuda. When Tiny’s father rents out the entire resort just for her modest wedding - including only a few friends and family, you know somebody has got to cause a scene. You just don’t expect it to occur from practically everyone invited.This small and unexpected lesbian wedding amongst two WASP families is quite comical, to say the least, and brings a whole new meaning to the words dysfunctional family. Just the amount of secrets and lies that these people are hiding and “suprisingly” come into play will keep you turning the pages frantically as each of them are shockingly revealed. Truths are finally told, hearts are broken, and the strength of love is put on the line as we watch this 3-day alcohol driven ordeal unfold. These characters are unbelievably unconscionable, yet somehow appealing.I laughed, I cried, I gasped in absolute shock, and in the end Liz Parker still hit me with a completely unexpected ending I never saw coming. What an eye opening, spot on, realistic debut of a novel with authentic writing that was downright scrupulous. Liz Parker is a true talent for sure, and I am looking forward to what she has hiding up her sleeve next. A very enjoyable read for sure. I definitely recommend picking this one up.
