Gabby Summerhill is getting married. The question is, to whom? Will it be Marty, Tom, or Jacob? Each one has proposed to her, but she isn't revealing who the lucky groom will be until Christmas Day when her whole family is gathered together. Gabby hasn't spent a Christmas with her whole family since her first husband passed away. Once they are all gathered, Gabby will reveal the lucky man. Each one of Gabby's four kids has their own life and Gabby is always up to something quirky she even has her kids and grandkids call her by her first name.

I'm trying to get through all the James Patterson books I haven't read by listening to a few. I have long enjoyed his books and this one was alright.

Gabby is a high school teacher and a mother of 4. She is also a grandmother. Planning her wedding is quite an adventure and everyone seems to comply with the crazy idea of waiting until the wedding day which is also Christmas to reveal who sh is going to marry, even the groom doesn't know. It's fun to see how the story unfolds with nods to subjects like divorce, grief, and teenage angst.

Movie Favorite

"I was at NYU film school when I first saw If…. The second time was the very next day, when I brought friends and classmates to share this extraordinary movie experience. I have always harbored fantasies of blowing up my high school, but until If…. I never realized that I was not the only one. Obviously If…. was a huge influence on Rock ’n’ Roll High School. In the mid-1980s, I wrote an article about high school movies for American Film magazine in which I opined that If…. was the greatest of them all. A month later, I received a lovely letter from Lindsay Anderson, my hero (I also love O Lucky Man!). We corresponded for several years, finally meeting at the Telluride Film Festival. He called me “a movie brat typical of my generation” for preferring The Searchers to She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. (I treasure his criticism.) Wrapped in a scarf, Malcolm McDowell is as riveting and charismatic as ever in his screen debut. I showed the movie to my teenage daughters, who only know Malcolm as Linderman on Heroes, and it impressed a whole new generation of rebellious teens. If….’s DVD extras, especially “O Lucky Malcolm,” really capture the spirit of the man and the movie."

My wonderful friend brought me this and it arrived today, and I finished it in the space of 3 hours. It was so good. I absolutely adored it. I have watched the film a number of times, and as someone who struggles with ill mental health, among other bits, it often is one I struggle with. But the book, wow. Just amazing. I laughed so hard in places, and I nearly cried in others. It is so good and I feel so lucky to be able to relate to something so profound.I will update this with a much better review soon.

I was so lucky to have received an advanced copy through a Goodreads giveaway-thank you!!

I've read all of Lisa Scottoline's books and I can say she did NOT disappoint in this one!! I loved it!

Had I not had a needy 1 year old I would have finished it in a couple of days but alas I had to read at night...Moms yall can relate! :-)

The best thing is that she allows your imagination to run wild with "who did its" and so forth and when you think you have figured it out she still shocks you. Awesome book!!

The mystery and intrigue continues. With very new piece of information we learn it seems as though one question is answered and at least two more appear.

Huntley continues to save the world in style whilst trying to decipher her past. All of this is made more challenging by not knowing who to trust.

As a reader we are just as baffled as Huntley about her past, despite the very small snippets from an unknown narrator.

The book ends on a pretty massive cliffhanger, so be prepared, although you’re lucky, you won’t have to wait for the next book to be released.
