Book of the Month July

The Friendship Club

by Robin Carr

Read with me!

July's selection is The Friendship Club by Robin Carr.

"Four women come together at a tumultuous time in their lives, forging an unbreakable bond that will leave them all forever changed." This is the tag line you will see if you search the book online.

We all need that group of friends that will be there when the sh*t hits the fan. Four women stare down the crossroads of their lives and lean on each other to move on. They are all unique but similar, strong yet needy, and successful yet venerable. I found a few of the characters to be a bit annoying, but that imitates real life, I suppose. While The Friendship Club isn't my favorite novel written by Robin Carr, it is a good, fast summer read and a lovely "women's fiction" title for you to enjoy. It leaves you thankful for those bonds you have built in your life to lean on when in need.

Robin Carr is the famed author of the series Virgin River (I highly suggest the books if you're a fan of the Netflix series).

HAPPY READING!

2. Of all the jobs Evie has performed, why did Ryan get under her skin?

3. Do you see Evie and Ryan lasting? Why or why not?

4. The story jumps back and forth and switches timelines in a way to give a clearer picture of Evie’s past and work with Mr. Smith. Did you like the various timelines or did you find it confusing at times?

5. What does Evie mean by “first lie wins?”
