"The Book Club Hotel is a gift...the perfect escape-and-find-yourself novel."--Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author
This summer, let USA Today bestselling author Sarah Morgan transport you with another heartfelt exploration of change, the power of books to heal, and the enduring strength of female friendship. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry and Jennifer Weiner.
With its historic charm and picture-perfect library, the Maple Sugar Inn is considered the ultimate vacation destination. But widowed far too young, and exhausted from juggling the hotel with being a dedicated single mom, Hattie Coleman dreams only of making it through each day.
When Erica, Claudia and Anna--lifelong friends who seem to have it all--check in for a girlfriends' book club holiday, it changes everything. Their close friendship and shared love of books have carried them through life's ups and downs. But Hattie can see they're also packing some major emotional baggage, and nothing prepares her for how deeply her own story is about to become entwined in theirs.
In the span of a week, can these four women come together to improve each other's lives and make this the start of a whole new chapter?

Positives: Women's supportive friendships, Found family, Holiday setting, Precocious kiddo, Just the right amount of romance, Fairly satisfying conclusion
Negative: The mind-numbing, never-ending discussions of these characters' problems. Okay I get it. You all are each at a crossroads in your lives, and need to make some hard decisions. I could only empathize just so much. The dialogue involving all their individual angst was at least 3/4 of the story.
Because of the focus on the character's worries, some of them came across as a little one dimensional. Considering it was a Christmas story, I would have enjoyed reading more about the elements of the hotel interiors and exterior, details of the surrounding Vermont countryside, descriptions of the food, to round the book out a little.
