So, imagine those Hallmark and Lifetime holiday movies. This book is exactly that. Predictable and unrealistic but a decent romance non the less. Thanksgiving is a formulaic romance book Evanovich wrote in the late 1980's, with a mix of some American Holiday chaos.

The romance between Megan's and Pat starts with a runaway bunny (Pat's), a baby (young Tilly's boy left to Dr Pat while she runs off for 2 weeks without contact) and then a horse giving birth (Megan's Aunt's horse). All unbelievable stuff, but needed in order to create the need for a family life for Megan and Pat. But in the mix of all this start-up-family life and instant-love-at-first-sight is a Thanksgiving chaos. Pat and Megan's families all together for Thanksgiving dinner was a little cute.

I didn't care much for Megan's as she felt to wishy-washy to me. I did like Pat though. There's not much character development. And the constant change of point of views from Megan and Pat made it a little hard to really like a character, let alone feel connected to them.

In all this is a cute chick lit holiday read. The beginning was good, but the ending was a little slow and too long. It did remind me a lot of the Hallmark and Lifetime movies that I watch. They're nice to watch a couple of times during the holidays, so as to brighten the holiday mood. I did like Evanovich's description of the town. That helped bring the Thanksgiving theme to life in the book.
