The Book Club for Troublesome Women: A Novel

"The Book Club for Troublesome Women" was an INCREDIBLE read that I have already recommended to my book club. Reading about the lives of these women was inspirational, often funny, and so dang relatable.

First, a huge thank you to NetGalley and to the publisher. This book spoke to me on so many levels. Every character, every moment felt intentional and incredibly powerful. While the novel acknowledges its own limitations and lack of full intersectionality, and I love that the author chose to simply acknowledge her privilege instead of trying to write a narrative she couldn’t understand. The characters are so full and complex that there were times I forgot that this was fiction and not a memoir. This is the kind of book that thirty years from now, students will be studying in a woman’s lit class and recognizing it for the classic it is destined to be.
