One Big Happy Family by Susan Mallery
3.0
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

The concept of this book was fun.  Lots of people gathering to celebrate Christmas at a huge, but still cozy, family “cabin”. Obviously, drama ensues. There’s love, loss, family dysfunction (to a mild degree), business trouble, and even a shooting (kind of). Enjoyable. But character depth is poor and the shenanigans mostly predictable.
