A review by janerel
The Inaugural Meeting of the Fairvale Ladies Book Club by Sophie Green

3.0

A most enjoyable novel but not one that I loved. The storyline was lovely but not unique. Reading so many books nowadays I really appreciate excellent writing and am noticing the gap between those that inspire me and that I can't stop thinking about, and those that don't. As with some other books, I felt that this was telling me the story rather than allowing me to become immersed in it and part of it. Details don't have to be repeated for me to get it and things don't always have to be spelt out if the scene has been well set. I think it's hard to incorporate Book Club into a title and have a story live up to what you may expect (thinking about The Jane Austen Book Club that I held such high hopes for). I certainly was expecting a bit more detail on the books they discussed. It is still a lovely story (loved the cover too) and one I will pass onto friends. Thank you to Hatchette and Goodreads for this copy.
