Synopsis

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.

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......more

After some of the positive reviews I thought I'd take a chance to read this book. Unfortunately, it felt like torture to finish the story at all. The characters were unlikable and the story predictable. I only continued reading to see if anyone in the story would do the right thing at the end. Thank......more
