Sarah Morgan has quickly become a must-read author for me. What a whirlwind story!
Normally I don't care for stories with changing POVs (mostly because I find it's never done well). But Morgan handles the switches seamlessly. I loved reading this story about a mother (facing a failed marriage), an older sister (refusing to be vulnerable and not "perfect"), and a younger sister (finding her own voice).
Did I think it was a bit too convenient about Katie (older sister) and Jordan (younger sister's fiance's best friend)? Yes, of course. But that's okay because, in part, at least in my opinion, romance should have some fairytale-like qualities. And it didn't diminish the story or the journey one bit.
Loved it!

Je n'avais pas relu de Sarah Morgan depuis la trilogie Snow Crystal qui a su charmer mon âme de montagnarde amoureuse de l'hiver, et j'avais peur d'être déçue par ses autres romances de Noël mais... Non!!
J'ai beaucoup aimé ce petit roman où l'on suit le point de vue de trois femmes : Rosie, qui va se marier dans quelques jours avec un homme qu'elle ne connaît que depuis quelques temps; sa sœur Katie, médecin traumatisée par un événement à son travail et fermement opposée à ce mariage; et leur mère, Maggie, qui n'a pas dit à ses filles que ses parents divorcent et ne vivent plus ensemble et veut encore jouer le jeu du faux couple le temps du mariage.
La diversité de ces points de vue apporte une certaine dynamique au roman, j'ai eu beaucoup de mal avec Katie jusqu'à la dernière partie, mais j'ai quand même apprécié son point de vue

3.5 stars maybe? I enjoyed this more than I expected! It was nice to see all three of the women’s POVs because they were each in very different places of life. They had some insufferable inner thoughts at times, which did dampen my enjoyment a bit. Nick was easily my favorite character. I’ll be curious to read more Sarah Morgan!

Maggie is the mother of two charming, smart daughters whom she misses terribly. She spends all year looking forward to spending Christmas at the family's cottage in the UK, especially this year when life has kept them apart and has Maggie and her husband keeping a secret. Her youngest, Rosie, is known to be impulsive, but to request the entire to family to come to Colorado for her wedding with two weeks notice is more than Maggie can handle. Terrified of flying and the truth, Maggie's husband manages to get her aboard a plane for the holidays, where they'll join their eldest, Katie. Katie, too, is harboring a secret, and even worse, isn't really there to attend the wedding, but to ruin it. This Christmas isn't turning out like a White Family Christmas at all, but at least there will be snow.
Funny, heartwarming, and romantic, A Wedding in December is a truly wonderful family-focused read by Sarah Morgan. Christmas is just the backdrop to this cozy read, featuring snowmobile trips, sled dogs, family bickering, and three women who just don't know how to handle their secrets or their emotions. I loved the entire White family, I could relate with Maggie, Katie, and Rosie as they tried to tackle the trip. There's also some fantastic secondary characters that brought the story to life, I could hear the characters unique voices in the dialogue. Each of the women's perspectives told their own story, each tied together perfectly to make a cohesive entertaining book.
A Wedding in December was just the read I needed and I am sure it will be one I revisit as the holidays draw closer. Sarah Morgan gives readers a Hallmark Movie-like read, without the unbelievable plot lines and the overwhelming amount of cheer. I absolutely adored this family-themed novel.

If you're searching for a nice, cute read for Christmas - this might be it! The story is soft with just the right amount of tension, heartbreak and drama. I love the family dynamic, especially between the two sisters. I feel like it might hit home for some of the readers with siblings! I liked all the characters, even if I agree with the thought of the older sister and mother (about the wedding).
SPOILER
Rosie is rushing to get married, which in general, i don't enjoy reading. A 22 year-old woman who gets married just a short time after meeting her fiancé is just not it (at least for me!). But other than that the story was delightful. I enjoyed reading it from start to end and highly recommend it for cold winter days.

A little too Hallmark movie-ish for my taste. Not my thing. Lol
