I've found that you can always count on Wendy Wax to deliver an engaging novel with multiple unique female characters with diverse perspectives, that also draws on how those same very different people come together and find common ground that unites them. The Break-Up Book Club is no different.
Jazmine, Judith, Sara and Erin are the four main characters, but there are several minor characters (Dorothy, Meena and Annell) that also play a major part. The book club held at Annell's bookstore Between the Covers is the connecting factor for all the women. Each character is at a unique point in her life, both in age and relationship status, and the author handles all of those stories in a genuine and relatable manner. The Break-Up Book Club is really a beautiful story of friendship, resilience and strength.
It is sometimes challenging to keep all the characters straight, but I believe that might have been because I kept having to put the book down and pick it back up again (not by choice), and if I had been able to read it in fewer sittings, I think that might not have been an issue. Either way, I enjoyed this novel and this unique cast of characters. I'm hoping there might be a sequel in the future so we can see how these ladies continue to grow and change.
I received this book courtesy of the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
