I found I had a love/hate relationship with this book. On one note it is very dark, to having Lucy being brainwashed by William. What's true and what isn't is hard to discern as the author leaves much up to the readers imagination.

Who knew there was such a thing as an exclusive book club! Ava decides to join a book club that has a spot open when her friend at the library moves her up the list. A waiting list for a book club? Ava who is divorced by her husband of 25 years is floundering with how to …more cope. Her daughter is in a bad place as well, in Europe at college having a relationship of sorts with an older man. So this year the book club has a theme to read, a book that matters most to you. Ava recalls a book that helped her with a tragic loss many years earlier. This book was entertaining, especially since it’s about books. Friendships, life, love and even a little mystery. A very thought provoking novel. (less)
