'TIS THE SEASON
The Christmas Wedding - James Patterson and Richard DiLallo (2011)
Gaby Summerhill hopes that this is the year she can get all her family to visit for Christmas. When her three best male friends all propose to her, it sparks an idea in Gaby's head. She will get married on Christmas Day to one of the three guys but the catch is no one will know which one until the actual wedding - not even the groom. In order to let her family in on the surprise, she makes a series of videos with the help of her best friend Stacey-Lee who also has no idea. Meanwhile, Gaby's oldest daughter Claire's life is falling apart as she and her husband Hank are having marital problems. Will the pair rekindle their passion or is a divorce on the cards for this Christmas? The next daughter Emily has always strived to achieve the impossible with her mantra which resembles the famous Forrest Gump line "Run, Emily, Run". When her chances of making partner in the law firm are compromised, will she take the offer on the table and lower her standards or will she find the courage to stand up for what is right? Third daughter Lizzie has always had everything under control but what will happen when her husband Mike finds out he has cancer? And it seems that weddings are the reason for the season as Seth - the only son - and his girlfriend Andi have some news of their own. The Christmas Wedding, like James Patterson's other novels, will keep you guessing - as you join in with family and friends to wonder who the lucky man is. (PP)
