The Confession Club | 
pickEach week, over dinner, dessert & wine, a group of women meet to confess their sins, hopes, & to share their lives. Within this backdrop in a small US town, two of the women‘s lives and stories develop & are highlighted. This was well written, heart warming and funny. A cozy read that is a little more than a cozy read. Delightful with each word. I will look for more of Elizabeth Berg‘s writing. 4/5.
bailedI‘m bailing on this one. I‘m at 70% so part of me is tempted to finish, but I‘m bored. This is a sweet story about relationships in a sleepy town. The plot, such as it as, clearly isn‘t going anywhere, and I‘m not really invested in any of the characters. The writing is fine, but is nothing special to hold me, so I think it‘s time to move on. On the plus side I‘m making process on my #bookspinbingo board! @TheAromaofBooks
panBook 116
Book 116 I usually love Berg's writing; her characters are so rich and their relationships are incredibly complex. This novel was flat in comparison; the characters didn't exist much outside of their monthly dinners. It read more like a list of only mildly interesting confessions. The Confession Club is a first draft in need of development.

The Confession Club is a wonderful story about a group of women who get together to share food & take turns making confessions. From minor to major, embarrassing to thought provoking. Nothing is off limits! The group members ages span 6 decades. A story of finding ones self, reinvention, risks, trust, forgiveness, faith, friendship, and falling in love ❤
I confess, I enjoyed this book, fell in love (more in comments)
bailedI cannot settle on a book lately. This wasn‘t bad at all; in fact I really liked it at first. Unfortunately the PTSD storyline wasn‘t working for my current mood and I decided that there was no need to power through this if I didn‘t feel it. Being so picky right now. I would have preferred a book less about Iris and Maddy and more about all the ladies in the club.
A weekly gathering of women-a supper club turned confession club is the weeks highlight for this eclectic group of women. Trust and friendship binds them together, and working through their heartaches bring comfort and inspiration. Just a feel good women fiction novel-a trademark of Elizabeth Berg's writing.

pickA quick, sweet, uplifting read. Although book 3 of the series, it almost reads as a stand alone. Perfect for a light, beachy read and while slightly predictable, it was nonetheless a comforting, entertaining story about love, friendship and family. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #netgalley
so-soFirst read of 2020! It was chosen by my book club and although I would not have picked it I think it was the perfect book for the season. It was a fluff read to me with a cute ending. With so much going on this time of year it was an easy read
pick3rd book in the series I just loved it family, friendship, love, community and a whole bunch of confessions. Go buy it today.
so-soThe idea of this book was really good, but I found myself thinking there were too many characters that I found I lost interest in a lot of the story lines. Ultimately, I still loved Iris and Maddy and that ended up being where I had the most focus.

pickThis is the third book in the Mason Series. I absolutely love these books. They are so heartwarming, feel good books. There is a group of women that meet to eat and tell a secret that no-one knows about. They let two new members into the club Maddy and Iris. Maddy has just came back from New York and wants to escape to the slow moving life of the small town. Iris meets a homeless guy John and they become friends.
