Vintage Reads: 'Wedding Favors' by Anne Tenino
Vintage Reads
"Because just like a high-quality wine, books never go out of style, you just might need some help to find that perfect note."
Well, I guess it's my go round at our new feature. I have to say I am thrilled with this because I have a TBR list a mile long. This week I am recommending Anne Tenino's Wedding Favors. After reading Anne Tenino’s 18% Gray, I fell in love. And this was my fourth purchase of her work. I must say, 18% Gray and Wedding Favors are my favorites, but Anne is a great writer, and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read of hers. If you haven't yet had an opportunity to read her work you won't be disappointed by starting with Wedding Favors.
And if you missed last week's recommendation from Toni, on Andi Van's Starting with the Unexpected, check it out here.
We hope you enjoy our Vintage Reads feature where we share with you those books that were published at least 12 months or more, provide some insight as to what sparked us to select them and encourage your choices with our read recommendations.
About Wedding Favors
Lucas Wilder’s best friend is a traitor. First, Audrey moved back to their hick-infested hometown, Bluewater Bay, and now she’s marrying a local. His own brother, in fact. And as her man of honor, Lucas gets coerced into returning for an extended stay. Although, between his unfaithful ex-boyfriend and his artist’s block, going home isn’t the worst thing that could happen. Even if the best man is Gabriel Savage, Lucas’s first crush, first hookup, and first heartbreak.
The only reason Gabe hasn’t been waiting for Lucas to return to Bluewater Bay is because he never thought it’d happen. Not that it matters now that Lucas is back—Gabe’s still a logger who’s never been anywhere (Canada doesn’t count), and Lucas is now a famous sculptor who’s been everywhere twice. Plus, there’s that shared past.
When Audrey asks Lucas to make her wedding favors, the only place to set up a kiln is at Gabe’s tree farm. Soon, they pick up where they left off twelve years before, then blow past it, discovering why neither of them forgot the other. Now they have to choose how much of their history they’ll repeat, and what future they’ll make together.
