The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood

5.0

I would give this a 4.5-5 star rating.

I loved Ava's story. There were so many facets to it. And then her daughter Maggie...she was a bit of a hot mess. Each section was divided up to showcase each book that the book club read. These were mostly classics and I have to say I have not read many of them or if I tried, I put it back down because I didn't like the book. But I enjoyed hearing the character's discussion of the books and I might give the book another shot later on.

I was a little surprised at the ending and Ava's reaction. I won't say much to not give it away, but I was surprised she took everything in stride and wasn't mad or hurt or upset. Maybe enough time had passed and she was more happy with the outcome than worrying about everything that led up to that point.

Overall a very enjoyable story.
