Reviewed by Helen

This is the first book I have read from this author and it won’t be the last, I decided to read this one because I really liked the blub and I am so glad I did, this is a fun and moving story with characters that all had different personalities and wants yet melded well together for a page turning fun read.

Emma Chance and her husband and kids have moved to West Kirby, Liverpool for a change that should have them all enjoying life more, and Emma is really looking forward to making new friends when the kids start at the new school, but the first day turns out so good because of the dog.

Jools Jackson has it all a handsome footballer husband three beautiful daughters and even picks the kids up from school dressed to the nines, she also runs an exclusive book club once a month invitation only, life seems too good for Jools to everyone else.

When Emma is invited through their husbands to join the book club all hell breaks out at the second meeting, there is lots of wine involved and Emma is thrown out Emma and her close friends Beth and Hanan decide to start their own book club with lots of different rules to Jools’s one.

There are lots of laughs through this story but there are also lots of moving and emotional bits as well as these woman Emma, Jools, Maggie, Eve, Flic, Beth and Hanan journey through life with kids and husbands and making things work and keeping everyone happy. This is a book that I do recommend, I thoroughly enjoyed it, very entertaining.
