darlareads 's review for:

The Confession Club by Elizabeth Berg
4.0

I will forever be loyal to The Story of Arthur Truluv, the first in this series by Elizabeth Berg, but I have enjoyed every return visit to Mason, Missouri.

I have long been a fan of Berg and find her novels to be the best type of comfort read. She explores themes of family, friendship and love through endearing characters and homey settings.

In the return to Mason, we visit the ladies of The Confession Club, ladies who meet regularly to share their biggest regret, shame or embarrassment. No judgement in Confession Club, just good food and emotional support. This reminds me of a few book clubs I've been a part of: we may start out discussing a book, but the conversation usually turns to more personal confessions.

With this novel we are introduced to new characters, as well as catching up with some familiar residents of Mason. While I miss Arthur Truluv, he lives on in Maddie and Nora and I will always welcome the chance to visit them again.

Thanks to NetGalley, Random House and Elizabeth Berg for the complimentary digital copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
