James Patterson wrote a beautiful novel with The Christmas Wedding. Gaby Summerhill is a widow who has decided to remarry and in order to bring her four children together for the first Christmas since the death of her husband and their father, she is holding the wedding on Christmas Day. However, she isn't telling who the groom is until the wedding day. Not even the groom knows...and three men have asked for her hand in marriage!

James Patterson usually writes murder mystery novels and the occasional contemporary fiction novel he writes is usually a heart-breaking story that leaves you in tears. I imagined this one would be the same way since the family is reuniting for the first time since the death of the patriarch, but it was not sad at all. It was a light, easy read that had me quickly flipping pages to see what Gaby was up to next with her (at times) hilarious wedding.

Each child had their own side story, some were a little more touching than others, yet each character added so much to the character to the story, all coming together at the end of the novel to wrap up the novel in a way that was absolutely perfect. It was a novel that left you with a warm, happy feeling at the end.

I truly loved the book from start to finish and would definitely recommend this book for the Christmas season - or any time of the year!!
