The Christmas Wedding - James Patterson - Book 125

I sometimes wonder if James Patterson writes any of his books any more, since he has a long series of coathors and is more prolific than Barbara Cartland. That said, I enjoyed The Christmas Wedding. Here's the description on Amazon:

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.

I really loved Gaby and her kids and their stories are told simply and effectively till they intertwine on Christmas Day. It's lightweight and somewhat implausible but somehow leaves you feeling happy.
