I’m in the mood for something fun and light. One of my favorite “beach read” authors is Mary Kay Andrews and I scored a few of her books at a library book sale last fall. This month’s LWD Book Club selection features a lifestyle blogger as the main character. Perfect!

LWD MAY BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Ladies’ Night
Grace Stanton’s life as a rising media star and beloved lifestyle blogger takes a surprising turn when she catches her husband cheating and torpedoes his pricey sports car straight into the family swimming pool. Grace suddenly finds herself locked out of her palatial home, checking account, and even the blog she has worked so hard to develop in her signature style. Moving in with her widowed mother, who owns and lives above a rundown beach bar called The Sandbox, is less than ideal. So is attending court-mandated weekly “divorce recovery” therapy sessions with three other women and one man for whom betrayal seems to be the only commonality. When their “divorce coach” starts to act suspiciously, they decide to start having their own Wednesday “Ladies’ Night” sessions at The Sandbox, and the unanticipated bonds that develop lead the members of the group to try and find closure in ways they never imagined. Can Grace figure out a new way home and discover how strong she needs to be to get there?
Won’t be reading that one with you. I did read last month’s book though. It was a good – though heartbreaking – read. My review for it just went up on Goodreads, and will be in this week’s review post on my blog (scheduled to go up this morning).
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed Lilac Girls. I am actually reading these in reverse order. I took this month’s read with me on vacation since it was a paperback and am starting Lilac Girls this weekend.
