Still gorging on Christmas books with Susan Mallery's One Big Happy Family (#1,288)! Got to admit, though, that this one was a bit overstuffed for my taste.
With one family and its fringes, there were a few too many subplots going on. Was the cougar mom who was afraid to admit to her family she was dating a much younger man the main element? Or was it her son and daughter-in-law dealing with a broken relationship with her mother? Or was it the daughter who has been dumped time and again by her ex-boyfriend? And what about cougar mom's boyfriend's kids and pathetic ex? Dump them all in one enormous "cabin" in the Washington mountains and bring to a boil. That's the plot in a nutshell, with happy endings guaranteed all the way around.
While I did read it all the way through to the end, I think a bit less would have resulted in a lot more satisfaction on my end. Cute dog, though!
