Christmas Wedding

Dates Read: November 2011

I have only read one James Patterson book before but this one sounded interesting so I decided to reserve it at the library. I picked it up on Saturday and finished it Sunday morning. It was a great, light-hearted, quick read. (It was especially nice to have a light book to read after finishing Sarah's Key.) The summary states there were "twists" and I guess there were, but they weren't as shocking or surprising as the twists I've read in other books. Regardless, I now want to read more of his books (perhaps his mystery series?) but I will wait until a few other books have been crossed off my reading list.

Summary: (from Amazon.com)
The tree is decorated, the cookies are baked, and the packages are wrapped, but the biggest celebration this Christmas is Gaby Summerhill's wedding. Since her husband died three years ago, Gaby's four children have drifted apart, each consumed by the turbulence of their own lives. They haven't celebrated Christmas together since their father's death, but when Gaby announces that she's getting married--and that the groom will remain a secret until the wedding day--she may finally be able to bring them home for the holidays.  But the wedding isn't Gaby's only surprise--she has one more gift for her children, and it could change all their lives forever. With deeply affecting characters and the emotional twists of a James Patterson thriller, The Christmas Wedding is a fresh look at family and the magic of the season.
