I loved the beginning, but the romance storylines aren't for me. Cute idea.

This book was so charming! Reading it felt like taking a load off. I loved it. Made me long for slow midwestern small-town living. I had no idea it was a series though! Going to have to sink my teeth in those.
The Confession Club is a sweet feel good novel about friendships, small towns, surprising secrets and second chances. This is the third of a series that started with The Story of Arthur Truluv followed by Night of Miracles. I have not read either of them and Confession Club reads like a stand alone. The common thread that makes this a series is the town of Mason where each book is set.
Iris, the main character, is divorced and teaching baking classes in small town Mason. She is also a member of the Confession Club- a group of friends ranging in age from 20's-70's- that make weekly confessions to one another and ask forgiveness from the group. The confessions run the full spectrum of white lies to affairs with everything in between.
I would recommend this novel to fans of small town stories, sweet or cozy feel good books and women of any age. I have read many Elizabeth Berg books over the years and liked some of the older ones better than this one. The Confession Club is a solid 3 star read. A great palate cleaner after a book with heavier themes. Many thanks to the author and Random House for the chance to read and review this one.

I disliked this book from the outset, but kept reading because it is pretty short. The women in the Confession Club are just annoying, and the few people who have problems that you might actually care about are magically healed by the power of love, with no conflict or effort involved.
I loved Berg's first novel, Talk Before Sleep, and really liked a couple of her books from the mid-aughts, but my enthusiasm level fell with Arthur Truluv, and I think now I'm done with Elizabeth Berg.

A charming story recommended by my bff that reminded me how important it is to have others to whom you can tell your secrets.
3.5 Stars. I really needed this after reading Stephen King.
