The blurb:
This Christmas, the women of the
Happy Endings Book Club are about to uncover a world of love and magic as they
discover how to have their own happy ending or beginning, as they’re often the
same thing.
Once a month, seven very different
women come together to discuss books. They all love a happy ending, but have
lost sight of how to get their own. Paige misses glimpsing the magic in the
world. Sadie doesn’t see the beauty inside people. Amanda wonders what she ever
saw in her ex husband. Tilda literally can’t see herself. Michi can’t bear
looking at her family, while Clementine is blind to what’s right in front of
her. And Eva looks for romance in all the wrong places.
But things are about to change …
Meet the women of the Happy Endings
Book Club as they celebrate Christmas, and themselves, in London, Paris,
Vienna, New York, Sydney and in love.
My Opinion:
The blurb of this story sounded really
interesting to me, but unfortunately I didn't really enjoy it and it was hard
finding connection to it.
All the female characters were really likeable,
but the thing I didn't like in the style of the book was that as soon as I got
to enjoy a charachter's story, it changed to another character.
I loved reading Michi's story and the connection
and chemistry between her and Jake was undeniable from the start. their story
was exciting and fun to read, would have loved to read more about them as a
couple and their future.
Every girl and woman had her special story and I
liked them all, the were all so touching and unique. A pity though that we
didn't get to hear more about each and every one of them.
The idea of a happy endings book clubs great and
I loved that all these different women got together to share their love of
books and they became real friends as well. I admired their deep understanding
for each and how they were there when they were needed. The emotinal side of
the characters was desribed really well.
All in all, it was an okay book, but not really
my cup of coffee. There very some enjoyable pits and pieces though and the
novel is based on a lovely idea.
