A Wedding in December is a book that I wanted to read because I'm in a book club and it was our selection. Plus, I love Anita Shreve; I'm actually one of the ones who recommended it. So that's my reasons for wanting to read that book. The book is about a group of people that reunite for a wedding of some high school friend. They, over a time, lost touch and found each other again and decided to get married in a friend's inn; and I think it's in New England or something; and they get snowed in. And turns out that the woman is dying, and so they're trying to get married and preserve whatever little time they have together. But while they're locked in this inn because of this snow storm, they start finding out things about each other, who has secrets. The innkeeper's been in love with someone from high school, who is happily married; and they're both there. Just a lot of secrets and lies. And they get to know each other a lot better than they thought they would. I enjoyed it, but I thought it had a really slow start. And other Anita Shreve books that I've read start right into the story really fast, and they capture me from the beginning and I don't want to put it down. This one I had to put down a few times. I like the aspect of reunited with people that you haven't seen in a long time. I'm kind of going through something like that in my life now, and it's a really - it's just a really interesting thing to go through. I'm not so sure who wouldn't like the book; but I would recommend it to anybody who's an Anita Shreve fan, but also for book clubs because it made a lively book discussion for us. I would probably rate this book a three, three stars; and the reason being is because it took a while for me to get into the book. And if it wasn't a book club selection, I don't know if I would have finished it.
