Christmas

GHA.Library | May 1, 2023 |

The only thing good about this book was its easy style, easy reading. Gaby has decided to marry one of 3 guys who ask her the same week. Really? A lot of the book was about one of Gaby' daughter and her abusive, drunk husband which affects her son's behavior. She finally has enough but goes to Mom's wedding without telling anyone about it. Gaby's son decides without telling Mom that he wants to get married at same time as her - why after Mom's big build up about mystery of which suitor. Gaby is so self-centered. Why no one comes to be with her for the 3 years after her husband dies. Then who she picks to marry - why? (

This book is sort of like a Hallmark movie, but it wasn't too bad. As popular as James Patterson is, this is actually the first book of his that I've read. I don't know if I'll read any more unless I see a plot that looks really good. (
