I really enjoyed this winter story set in the mountains.
With lots of snow, food, drink and secrets, there is a lot happening in this book. As the secrets come out in this story, there are some angry feelings, accidents and forgiveness. There is a lot of reconciliation between various characters, forgiveness and love. The characters were likable and relatable. I enjoyed this story with romance, family, forgiveness, secrets, reconciliation, following your own path, self-esteem and more. One Big Happy Family is a great holiday book that I recommend.

I thought this would be a fluffy Hallmark holiday Christmas read. It is. Turns out I don't really like that genre.
