Sassyjd32 | Dec 22, 2023 |   Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. (  ) KatKinney | Mar 3, 2022 | From the book jacketIn this enchanting holiday novel, … friends and family gather on Nantucket for a gorgeous winter wedding with plenty of merry surprises in store. My reactions: ‘Tis the season for improbable holiday romances with ice skating, decorating a Christmas tree, hot cocoa, snow, at least one person who is “not into Christmas and/or kids,” and one or more missteps on the road to that happy-ever-after ending. I have to admit that Jilly, the mother of the bride, irritated me no end with her histrionics. The bride, youngest daughter Felicia, knew how to handle her, especially with the help of her older sister, Jilly’s “perfect” daughter, Lauren. The men were less irritating, but also less present. They tended to go off on poorly thought-out adventures with resulting trips to the ER. But all’s well that ends. If it isn’t already a Hallmark Christmas movie, it would make a good one. Fun, fast, holiday read. The audio version is capably narrated by Tanya Eby. She has clear diction and set a nice pace. Once or twice I was a bit confused about who was speaking, but it didn’t take long to catch up. (  ) BookConcierge | Dec 21, 2020 | Jilly's daughter Felecia is coming home to Nantucket to get married. Her wedding is on Christmas Day. Jilly loves her two daughters equally but never fully understood Felecia. She thinks the best thing for her would be to marry her old highschool friend and move back to Nantucket. Along the way, Jilly adopts a kitty named Rex and he seems to mellow her out a lot during the stressful holiday/wedding time. Rely cute and sweet story.
