In Accord (2014)
The In Accord Book Club was formed by four best friends living in Buffalo, trying to cope with life's many challenges. Hannah is a school principal whose teenage daughter was caught drinking while on a field trip, Julie is re-entering the dating world after a failed marriage, Maggie is coping with cancer in a way that could threaten her husband's career, and Ellen is tempted to stray from her husband. When their latest book club selection comes to a less-than-satisfying conclusion, they decide to rewrite it themselves. The events that shape the lives of these women over the next few months lead to them writing four very different scenarios, reflective of their own situations. I would have preferred a little more humour or light-heartedness in this book as most of the story is quite heavy, but I appreciated the concept. (LB)
