Novel Women
Touted as one of the best romantic novels "actually worth reading," in 2018 by Hearst'sBestProducts.com.
What Fran's Reading: A novel about a book club...written by a book club
Although the women intermittently connect throughout the summer, we're basically following a half dozen separate romance stories addressing friendship, marriage, sex and the assorted angst and emotions that apply to middle age.
Go ahead, call it midlife chick-lit (which it is), it's still a lot of fun and a satisfying beach read.
Not to mention a very impressive achievement as a group enterprise!

I especially love how the authors write like they share a brain. It makes it an even more
intriguing read. Grab a glass and join the club for this wonderful book.

Novel Women 2 reminds us of the value of female friendships. At times it’s laugh-out-loud
entertaining and then sobering when life hands out challenges you will recognize. Readers will
witness six women prove that good friendships take time, effort and intention. Friendships that
started in a book club are the lifeline through the stress of a new job, getting fired, finding love,
dealing with financial crisis, a sister’s cancer treatments and more. And in case you didn’t know,
romance and intimacy are alive and well in midlife. This is more than a beach read. It’s a
testament to the importance of a girlfriend network for emotional support when things go wrong
and to celebrate when life is good.
