The Book Club Hotel

 💖💖💖💖💖/5


The Book Club Hotel by Sarah Morgan is an amazing, moving, emotional tale that focuses on friendship, families, belonging and love.  Written using multiple POVs, giving insight into each of the four main women in the story, lives and thoughts, how they all intertwined, and getting to see their own challenges and journeys. This is a story of three friends, nearing forty, who met in college and have maintained their friendship since. Each year they get together for a week, discuss a chosen book, as well as catching up on each other’s lives. Events in their lives moved this year’s summer adventure to December and Erica booked a quaint inn, in Vermont, with all the holiday feels of a Christmas. Claudia and Anna are overjoyed with the Maple Sugar Inn but wonder why Erica has chosen this place; it’s quite unlike her. Each friend is dealing with life changing issues that the others are unaware of, but as each dilemma is revealed, the true meaning of friendship carries them through. Hattie is the Maple Sugar Inn's owner and is dealing with issues of her own; shortly after opening the inn her husband died in a freak accident. She is now struggling to keep his dream alive while dealing with temperamental staff and the stresses that go along with running the inn on her own, while also raising her five year old daughter, Delphi. When more crises develop and she is at her breaking point, Erica, Anna and Claudia step up to help. Secrets are revealed, new bonds are made, friendships develop, a found family is created and love is discovered; having been there all along. This is a wonderful story with amazing characters that will make you wish you belonged to their book club.

 

Ms. Morgan wrote a story that illustrated the soul and growth of her characters. I loved this wonderful, heartwarming, humorous tale of friendships, family and romance. A lovely, cozy, holiday read, I highly recommend The Book Club Hotel to other readers.

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
