Loving Frank: A Novel by Nancy Horan
 
Informative, Interesting, Dramatic
A fictional story based on the real life relationship of Frank Lloyd Wright .

Our book club really enjoyed reading this novel based on a true story. A great read from a first-time author. Would highly recommend this for a book club selection.

 
Inspiring, Interesting, Insightful
Had the potential to be a good book club book, but fell short.

This book had the potential to be a good story about women bonding over knitting and other life issues. It failed on so many levels with very poor character development, weak dialogue and a predictable story line. I would pass on this one for a book club, but it was somewhat entertaining and would make a decent beach read.

 
Romantic, Adventurous, Dramatic
A Modern Day Romeo and Juliet

Although you will be swept away by the romance between Bella and Edward, this modern day Romeo and Juliet story is definitely geared toward teens and young adults. Having said that, if you buy into the premise that a young girl can have a vampire for a boyfriend without her mother or father (who is chief of police) suspecting it, then jump right into their forbidden relationship complete with competing vampires and werewolves. Very well crafted. Skip the movie though and go right for the book if you have a choice.

Barefoot: A Novel by Elin Hilderbrand

Barefoot by Elin Hilderbrand

This book was a little more than mind candy from an author who specifically writes about what she knows.....namely Nantucket. This particular story involves a summer vacation between two sisters and a best friend, all of whom have unresolved issues. Hoping to take a break from it all, the problems only follow them. Nicely written, with an unconvincing ending, but good discussion book.

The Irresistable Henry House

We really liked this book overall and we found lots to talk about regarding the main characters, especially Martha. You will immediately be pulled in by the story line and we would recommend this for other book clubs.
