From award-winning, international bestselling author David Levithan, in collaboration with beloved musician Jens Lekman, a charming, heartwarming novel about an unlucky-in-love wedding singer.

J is a wedding singer, but it didn't start that way. He wrote a love song for one of his albums that accidentally became an international hit for to-be-wed couples around the world. These days, J talks to couples about all the small, strange things that brought them together—and then he writes and performs an original song at their weddings. But whatever he tries, he can’t find the perfect words for his own love with V. Now V is off to New York, helping launch a social media platform that has struck gold. Her work becomes all-consuming, and J feels himself being shuffled out of
her life. J seeks refuge and wisdom in the happy couples he writes for, who all look so unshakably connected. And so, whether through fate or sheer determination, J sets his sights on New York, to see if he can’t get V and himself singing in harmony once again, even while the tune of their song may be changed for good.

Inspired by Lekman’s own career in wedding songs and studded with his inventive and touching lyrics, Other People's Weddings is a tender, comic novel told in weddings that sings a love song of empathy, change, and, of course, music.
