A Cozy Coastal Story About Women on the Brink

The Wedding Escape is a poignant and funny story about the bravery it takes to stop being "indispensable" to everyone else and finally start showing up for yourself

Mara is forty-seven years old, squeezing into an "allegedly forgiving" linen dress, and attending her college roommate’s third wedding. She has spent her life being the sensible one—the one who holds the coats and remembers the birthdays while her own spirit slowly suffocates. But when the dress fails in a boutique hotel bathroom, Mara realizes she can’t do the "I’m fine" thing for one more minute.

Enter Lila: Mara’s lightly unhinged, delightfully calm friend who has a "tone" for front desk clerks and a plan for irresponsible joy. Together, they trade their heels for sneakers and vanish into the coastal mist, leaving behind seventeen unread texts and the expectations of a lifetime.

Their destination? Seabird Cottages, a cluster of faded blue buildings where the only rule is not to feed the gulls. Guided by Joan—a sharp-witted woman who once left her own husband mid-cruise—Mara and Lila must navigate a literal storm that forces them to stop running and start talking.
