The Break-Up Book Club by Wendy Wax

Breakups, like book clubs, come in many shapes and sizes and can take us on unexpected journeys as four women discover in this funny and heartwarming exploration of friendship from the USA Today bestselling author of Ten Beach Road and My Ex-Best Friend’s Wedding.

On paper, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara have little in common – they’re very different people leading very different lives. And yet at book club meetings in an historic carriage house turned bookstore, they bond over a shared love of reading (and more than a little wine) as well as the growing realization that their lives are not turning out like they expected.

Former tennis star Jazmine is a top sports agent balancing a career and single motherhood. Judith is an empty nester questioning her marriage and the supporting role she chose. Erin’s high school sweetheart and fiancé develops a bad case of cold feet, and Sara’s husband takes a job out of town saddling Sara with a difficult mother-in-law who believes her son could have done better – not exactly the roommate most women dream of.

With the help of books, laughter, and the joy of ever evolving friendships, Jazmine, Judith, Erin and Sara find the courage to navigate new and surprising chapters of their lives as they seek their own versions of happily-ever-after.

Reviews by the Wicked Reads Review Team

Ruthie – ☆☆☆
This is one of those books which needs a little patience, but once you get into it, it is both moving and entertaining. The premise is simple: follow the lives of four book club members as they navigate the perils of being single again. The reasons vary, their situations are different, but through the book club they have a shared friendship and support network. There is a large cast of characters, a flurry into online dating, and an unexpected sting, which together give a lot of movement to the book, but there are also quiet moments of reflection and reassessment.
