The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick
funny
hopeful
lighthearted
tense
medium-paced
3.0
I think this book held a potentially interesting take on white women’s lives in the 1960’s, but ultimately nothing that “troublesome” occurred.
We follow 4 women who find themselves in a book club, but of course it’s so much more than that. They all have their own individual stories that lead them to essentially breaking the boarders on what men, society, and even themselves have placed them into.
Charlotte was my favorite character by far.
Overall, while I did enjoy the narrators voice/depiction of characters, the book fell flat.
Thank you NetGalley for the advanced audio copy!

If you are into small town/hallmark type of books, then I think you’ll love this!
I love seeing a woman step into her own, but especially after a messy divorce. Tracy does just that and I was proud of her!
Ryan is your typical sweet guy who will do anything for the woman he cares about.
I think the audiobook was done well, but I do feel like the narration was a little overdone on the country accent or maybe I just feel that way because of wheee I live 😂
Thank you NetGalley for the audio arc in exchange for my honest review!
