kellyhager 's review for:

The Confession Club by Elizabeth Berg

I love Elizabeth Berg's books and I haven't read them in a while. I'm not sure why; there's no real reason for it. It was an impulse grab at ALA and then an impulse grab the night before Thanksgiving. (I got the release date wrong, and then decided to read this instead of an early December release.)

The Confession Club felt like comfort food to me, and I loved every page. It also makes me want to start my own confession club. But even without that, this is a sweet and fun book that is also sad and thought-provoking and basically the literary equivalent of hot soup on a cold day when you're feeling just a bit under the weather: it's exactly what's needed.

This is the third in a series, but it's more of an interconnected set of stories that take place in the same town than an actual series where they need to be read in order. (I do want to read the first two books now, though.)
