The Christmas Wedding by James Patterson

But the choice of her groom isn’t the only surprise they all receive on that Christmas day. The wedding is a beautiful affair held in the barn on Gaby’s property. This Christmas turns out to be a memorable one for the entire family. But, as the family comes together, the love they feel for one another gives them strength. Emily is questioning her career, and Claire has some serious issues with her husband and her oldest son. Her youngest son, Seth, is trying to sell his first book. Her son Mike has been dealing with cancer.

Each of the children have busy lives and things of their own they are forced to deal with. Gaby wants all of her children home for her wedding in Stockbridge, Massachusetts and communicates with them by sending videos. She is not going to reveal to her children or to the men who she has chosen until the wedding day. All three of these men have proposed to Gaby. She has three men whom she is close with and loves each one in their own way. But there are a few surprises with this wedding. She has fallen in love and is planning a Christmas wedding at her farm. The family has not gotten together since the death of their father/husband. She had a wonderful life with him and has four grown children who have all gone in separate directions. Gaby Summerhill lost her husband three years ago. I listened to the audio version of this book. The Christmas Wedding is by James Patterson. What three men would come to a wedding and stand there waiting to see which one she would pick for her husband. Don't waste your money buying this pitiful excuse for a book. She is upset when she finds her 13 year old grandson with some weed and yet she has him warm brandy up for her. Really? And she is portrayed as being such a giving, kindhearted woman who provides oatmeal to homeless people in her barn and yet she herself is indulging in gourmet meals and wines. She is such an egotistical bitch that she doesn't even want her own grandchildren to call her grandma but wants them to call her by her first name. None of these people wanted to share Christmas with their own families? There is not even any mention of any special presents or treats being given to the grandchildren of Gaby for Christmas. Gaby is so self centered that she has 150 people join her for a Christmas eve dinner and even more for a Christmas day wedding so everyone can honor her and pay homage to her. There is nothing about Christmas in this book other than the fact that the wedding takes place on Christmas. The main character Gaby is a self centered bitch who thinks the world revolves around her. If there was an option of 0 stars for this book, that is what I would have given it.
