Christmas Bliss
Mary Kay Andrews. St. Martin%E2%80%99s, $16.99 (294 pages) ISBN 978-1-250-01972-1
In this delicious novel, best-selling author Andrews (Savannah Blues) brings back Weezie Foley and BeBe Loudermilk. It%E2%80%99s Christmas time and Weezie%E2%80%99s wedding is a week away. It%E2%80%99s a happy week of tastings and fittings, and finding prizes at estate sales for her antiques shop at home in Savannah. Her fiance Daniel Stipanek is in NYC working as a guest chef at a hot new restaurant. Meanwhile, BeBe is for the first time in her adult life %E2%80%9Cexactly where [she] was supposed to be,%E2%80%9D safe and loved by a good man and pregnant with his child. Then Weezie sees a copy of Page Six of the New York Post featuring a photo of Daniel with %E2%80%9Ca willowy dark-haired beauty in a spangly cocktail dress with a plunging neckline. Meanwhile BeBe discovers she%E2%80%99s still married to Richard Hodges, that %E2%80%9Csnake%E2%80%9D of a husband who she thought had signed the divorce papers. Andrews sorts all of this out very neatly%E2%80%94too neatly perhaps, but that%E2%80%99s the only quibble with this fast and fun read. Agent: Meghan Walker, Tandem Literary. (Oct.)
