Publisher Description

In this enchanting holiday novel from New York Times bestselling author Nancy Thayer, family and friends gather on Nantucket for a gorgeous winter wedding with plenty of merry surprises in store.
 
As Christmas draws near, Felicia returns to her family’s home on the island to marry her adventurous, rugged boyfriend, Archie. Every detail is picture-perfect for a dream wedding: the snow-dusted streets, twinkling lights in the windows, a gorgeous red and white satin dress. Except a lavish ceremony is not Felicia’s dream at all; it’s what her mother, Jilly, wants. Jilly’s also worried that her daughter’s life with daredevil Archie will be all hiking and skydiving. Wondering if their handsome neighbor Steven Hardy might be a more suitable son-in-law, Jilly embarks on a secret matchmaking campaign for Felicia and the dashing stockbroker.
 
As the big day approaches and Jilly’s older daughter, Lauren, appears with rambunctious kids in tow, tensions in the household are high. With the family careening toward a Yuletide wedding disaster, an unexpected twist in Nancy Thayer’s heartwarming tale reminds everyone about the true meaning of the season.

Boring

Nothing happens in this book. No suspense, no drama, no excitement.

Excellent!

Loved this book. Didn’t want to put it down. I laughed many times and I fell in love with the characters. Rex made it even more entertaining.

A “Get-a-way” dreamy read

A lovely story to take the imagination into the quaint world of a wholesome family in Nantucket. Creates dreamy Nantucket vibes... Looking forward to reading more of Nancy Thayer. Im excited there is a book specific to Nantucket.
