The Book That Matters Most by Ann Hood
3.0
Between 3 and 4 stars. I enjoyed the basic plot about a recently divorced woman trying to get used to her new life and make new friends by joining a book club. I enjoyed the parts from her daughters POV. What I did not enjoy was the actual book club. I thought the literary discussion seemed forced and took away from the flow of the novel.
I thought some characters felt real like Ava and Maggie but many others seem oddly stiff and formal. I also have mixed feelings about the ending. I liked the concept of it but I find the actual behavior of the people at the very end extremely strange.
