goldenbeebookshop 's review for:
The Confession Club
by Elizabeth Berg
This was an earnest and wonderfully charming book. It's not that bad things don't happen to people, but that when bad things happen or have happened in the past, there's always some element of love or grace to save the day. It's idyllic to be certain, but sometimes the nicest piece of escapism isn't to a magic castle, but to a small town where kindness is the most important currency.
I enjoyed the range of women in this story, in both their ages and what caused them shame and doubt. I appreciated the "nowness" of each woman- they came with histories, but made it clear that it was who they were in the present that mattered the most.
I can see this being a big hit with bookclubs who would like a sweet, slightly sassy, and cozy book.
Thank you to NetGalley and Random House for access to an early copy.
