In this Christmas destination wedding book, Maggie’s family is gathering for the wedding of her youngest daughter, Rosie. But no one is thrilled that Rosie is getting married to a man she’s barely known for months. Her sister Katie is a trauma surgeon, extremely overworked and hiding secrets of her own. But none of them compare to Maggie’s—that she and her husband Nick are planning to divorce. They decide not to tell the girls and spoil Christmas and the wedding—but as they pretend to be still in love, in a snowy Christmas wonderland, is there a second chance possible? This Sarah Morgan novel was a bit more subdued in tone than some of her other Christmas novels I’ve read, but I still enjoyed it. The Aspen setting was richly described and I loved all the details of the tree house, getting trapped in a blizzard, and the dog sledding through the snow!

Can’t decide on 3.5 or 4, but this setting was super fun especially when there is snow on the ground outside. ❤️

A proper winter warmer of a book. Fun, deep and meaningful with lighthearted and funny moments. Definitely worth a read and would read it again.
Sarah Morgan gør det igen. Skriver en fantastisk hyggelig og ufarlig historie om kærlighed. Perfekt til vinterlæsningen.
Enorm voorspelbaar, maar verder wel ontspannen boek. Perfect om te luisteren tijdens het doen van allerlei activiteiten, als je een passage mist is dat niet zo erg!
I've read several Christmas romances this year, and some have hit it out of the park while others, well, not so much. Out of all of them, I have to say that A Wedding in December is my favorite so far. This is a romance, and it takes place during the week leading up to Christmas, but it's so much more than just another Christmas romance. This is the story of a family and all that it entails. We have three women, a mother and her two grown daughters, each dealing with something and worried about stressing the other two. Of course, there were a few things that were a little over the top. This is fiction after all, but for the most part, this whole story just felt real, like something we'd hear about from a family member or experience ourselves. Maggie's marital problems certainly rang true, especially to someone who has been married for years. I know all too well how easy it is to get caught up in work, kids, life in general and get complacent in the relationship. Sometimes it takes something big to shock us out of our everyday existence, and a wedding at Christmas is one such event. In the end, we have three romances, with Maggie and Nick being prevalent, at least for me, and a family that I couldn't help but get caught up in. This one is certainly not the usual Christmas romance fluff, so there is angst, but the author wonderfully tempers that angst with wit and fun, and it all worked to be thoroughly charming. This is my first read by Sarah Morgan, and I must say that the writing style combined with characters so real they practically leap off the page drew me in from the beginning and didn't let go.
I actually hated both sisters immensely in this book - so it's pretty difficult to care about the family dynamic. Solid meh.
