Birthday book from Loch! Set in Gig Harbor, so really fun to read. Friendship, some wonderful slow burn romance, and growth of 4 women.
Cute multi-character story and I loved reading about a group that keep living and experiencing life after going through some trauma things.

Four woman, all struggling with something in their lives, will form a book club and help each other face their challenges. Karissa is trying to start her life over in a new neighbourhood post divorce with her little girl. After being betrayed she is having a hard time feeling confident and trusting anybody. Alice lost the love of her life and instead of spending her retirement having adventures with him her world has slowly gotten smaller. Josie and her daughter haven’t spoken in months, she misses her but is insistent her daughter needs to make the first move for reconciliation. Margot was laid off and didn’t realize how hard it would be to find another one. Finding friendship and advice in their book club the four women will come together to improve their lives.
I like parts of this book. I really like each of the woman, they all have great storylines. I love all the book references, nothing gets readers excited like seeing an author reference their favourite titles. On the whole I would say I liked it.
That being said, it did feel a little repetitive and disorganized at times. It felt like there was a bit too much crammed into this story, and a few less plot points giving space to flesh out the other ones would have been great.
But it is a lovely story about female friendships and books.
Thank you to Mira Books and Netgalley for letting me have a copy early to review. Look for The Best Life Book Club May 7 2024.
