The Book Club for Troublesome Women (by Marie Bostwick)

I really enjoyed this book and getting to know the group of women who made up the Book Club. The characters are well developed and you will find yourself getting lost in the story of their lives and the difficult times they each experience. While a book club is involved, the story really revolves around these women and the support they provide each other. I love how the theme of books and how books can start a conversation with a complete stranger. I have had that happen so many times as I am eating in a restaurant and a waiter/waitress asks me what I’m reading. It leads to some amazing conversations with people. And it’s obvious that a book club can be such a wonderful support network. The fact that these women were strong enough to open up to each other and share their struggles, their disappointments, their desires was admirable. For women in the 60s, that was a major accomplishment. I strongly encourage you to put this one on your to-be-read list. It is an interesting dive into a community of mothers, wives, and friends. Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Muise for my advanced review copy. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
