with These Six Picks

T
his month’s selections are inspired by the themes of love and marriage and they’re all brought to you by authors connected to Rhode Island. Take a look and feel the feels, and don’t forget to stop by your local bookstore to pick up your copy. Pro -tip : books make great wedding gifts! Nuptials are the new family business in A Jingle Valley Wedding by West Warwick’s own Martha Reynolds. Julie Tate leaves her high-powered New York City executive job, returning to the failing family farm to – hopefully – turn it into a successful new wedding venue. With a little help from her friends, can she make it work? Perhaps there’s even a chance for Julie to find romance along the way. Love is in the air when Marie takes her Italian family to the Caribbean in Mari SanGiovanni’s Greetings from Jamaica, Wish You Were Queer. When she possibly meets the woman of her dreams, the members of her big , bawdy family react in every way you can imagine. As if they needed any more complications, a fortune may be on the line once a huge inheritance unexpectedly enters the picture. It’s fun for the whole family, until it isn’t! There’s nothing more romantic than a rustic getaway. The g uests of Judy Prescott Marshall’s The Inn in Rhode Island want nothing more than to relax, enjoy the atmosphere, and come together as Julie and Dan renew their wedding vows. But you didn’t think it would be that easy. An unexpected g uest forces the day in a different direction, and family and friends must come together to decide on the right thing to do.
