Hmmmm, I wonder why The Wedding People was in the romance category?
I know the concept of genre is complex, but from the comments, it sounds like a lot of these have don’t easily fit into their genre categories.

Was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, would never call it a romance.

Agreed! The Wedding People was an unexpected pleasant surprise for me (just read it this week) but I definitely would never call it a romance. Maybe you could call it a beach read although it's more complex than the books that typically fall into that genre.

Agreed it wasn’t romance but not sure where it should be? I didn’t love this book as it was just ehh for me after reading so many positive reviews. It just fell flat for me. I felt like it started out well and then was slow and oh so predictable.
