What Is the Next Step In Healing?
Synopsis:
“The rules of summer book club are simple:
No sad books
No pressure
Yessssss, wine!
Besties Laurel and Paris are excited to welcome Cassie to the group. This year, the book club is all about fill-your-heart reads, an escape from the chaos of the everyday—running a business, raising a family, juggling a hundred to-dos. Even the dog is demanding (but the bestest boy).
Since Laurel’s divorce, she feels like the Worst Mom Ever. Her skepticism of men may have scarred her vulnerable daughters. Cassie has an unfortunate habit of falling for ridiculous man-boys who dump her once she fixes them. Paris knows good men exist. She’s still reeling after chasing off the only one brave enough—and foolish enough—to marry her.
Inspired by the heroines who risk everything for fulfillment, Laurel, Paris and Cassie begin to take chances—big chances—in life, in love. Facing an unwritten chapter can be terrifying. But it can be exhilarating, too, if only they can find the courage to change.”(amazon.com)
My Thoughts:
A good book means that the characters show growth throughout the story. Susan Mallery receives an A+. Paris, Laurel, and Cassie all have their issues, but the important part is the self-discovery they make about themselves. I was most wrapped up in Cassie’s story and how it would end. I was impressed by Paris's journey and recovery. Laurel has issues from her past to overcome, but will the right person come along to help? The pacing in some spots was a little slow, but I enjoyed the story.
