It's October in Buffalo as four long-time friends, The In Accord Book Club, gather around a fireplace while a fierce windstorm amasses strength outside. They are deeply disappointed with the unfaithful characters and lackluster resolution of the novel they've met to discuss. When they agree to each write a richer, more satisfying conclusion in lieu of their next month's selection, none has any idea of the tempests about to erupt in her own world. Their intertwined lives and personal journeys, by turns humorous, sad, touching, and inspiring, furnish the raw ingredients for the new epilogue each writes.
Goodreads Summary
Upon reading the synopsis of this book I was immediately captivated and intrigued by what the pages of this novel would hold. The separate endings that each of the characters write are all interesting and different enough from each other to keep each new take fresh. All the characters are very believeable and bring a different flavor to the table of the story that keeps you interested and wanting to know the rest of the story.
I really liked the idea that someone is writing about a book club and it doesn't come off as the stereotypical older American's getting together over tea. While that does hold its place and is a comfort for many, this book goes far beyond the Sunday afternoon discussion of the typical classics. I loved how the personal lives played into the renditions that each of the characters made to the end od the story. Overall this is worth reading and caters to all types of readers out there.
4 Stars

- I'm a young college student who has probably read over 5000 books over the course of my short life; some of the books were classics, some of the books were terrific, and some of the books were...misses. Even with the latter part I will always believe in the power of books to completely remove the reader from his/her present reality. Long Live Books! I would love to read and review books from just about any genre. To contact me: edysicecreamlover18 AT gmail DOT com Thank you for your interest! At this time, I can only accept paperback or hardcover. The finished review copies I receive are either kept in my personal collection or donated to several libaries, schools, or charities-I have no control over the finished review copies after donation. *I claim no ownership for any images used on this site.
