In the first chapter, there was a quote of ‘the power of a good writer with a great story.’ This, unfortunately, was neither😬
Nobody speaks the way the dialogue is written..

This book is a heartwarming tale of friendship, love, and the courage to change. The story revolves around three women: Laurel, Paris, and newcomer Cassie. They find solace and laughter in their book club, where they only read books that aren't sad and welcome wine. As they navigate life's challenges - from Laurel's post-divorce doubts to Cassie's pattern of choosing the wrong men, and Paris's struggle with past relationship scars - they draw inspiration from the strong heroines they read about. This novel captures the essence of female camaraderie and the transformative power of taking chances. Mallery's skillful storytelling and relatable characters make this book a delightful read, emphasizing the importance of support and friendship in overcoming life's hurdles.

Been a while since I read a romance.  This was the perfect one to start with. The title caught my attention. Looking forward to reading more by this author.

Cheesy and predictable. Only read it because I want to join the book group at BCAK.
