women's fiction
The Book Club by Mary Alice Monroe tells the story of five women who belong to a book club. Each has a different family situation, each has their own difficulties and lifestyles, and they all support each other through thick and thin.
Amy's Review
The Book Club is my book club book this month. Cute, huh? I knew nothing about this book other than it was in the women’s fiction genre. This had me nervous since I only tend to like about half of the women’s fiction I read. But, I did enjoy this.
It’s a book about friendship and approaching middle-age, so I can relate. Monroe did not do this “friendship story” as well as Liane Moriarty does friendship stories, but still managed to keep me interested. The characters seemed real to me and the situations were familiar. The author cleverly tied each chapter to a novel being read by the book club members. It could get long-winded at times but not habitually, thankfully. I think it will generate a nice discussion at our meeting.
