The Seven O'clock Club
I hadn't known this book was Science Fiction when I requested it, so I thought the plot was a bit farfetched, but intriguing. However, the book redeemed itself by showing the power of group therapy and how helpful it is in showing how each person deals with sadness and self-loathing. And by showing this, it helps people validate their feelings and realize they are not alone in the world, and we are more alike than different.

Engaging
This book grabbed me right away. The 4 main characters were well written, interesting and intriguing. In fact, I couldn't put the book down. However there is a big reveal in the plot, and it threw me. At that point I lost interest and the story lost credibility for me. As the plot dealt with grief, I was interested, as like most readers it is a topic I have dealt with and struggle with.

This is my kind of read
Four grieving people of different walks of life respond to a wanted participation in an experimental grief therapy. They feel stuck in their lives living with this grief.
These four people are extremely different and the author has the reader feeling as though you know them intimately.
The book is staged so they go through the usual stages of grief until the end. The final part of the story comes as a surprise. I had mixed feelings about the author using high tech at the end.
I loved how phycological this story was written. It would be a good book for book clubs to discuss. A book not soon forgotten,
