Published: November 19th 2019 by Random House
Format: eBook, Hardcover, 304 pages
Genre: Women's Fiction
Source: My thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for an opportunity to read an advanced copy of this book.
Series: Mason #3
Though a series, the books can be read as stand-alones since Elizabeth Berg brings in just enough of each character’s past, without being too heavy-handed, to get the reader caught up.
Book three in the Mason, Missouri saga (The Story of Arthur Truluv, and Night of Miracles), involves a Confession Club since book clubs are boring in comparison. Each week, the ladies come together to reveal a secret and to munch on one of Iris’s decadent desserts. Maddy is back, sans husband, and trying to figure out life with her daughter Nola. Yet what takes center stage is John, a homeless man battling PTSD and Iris’s deep fascination and attraction to him. Yes, you are going to question John to some extent, but while watching their budding romance you do not care. There is a sweetness, an understanding, and vulnerability between the two and that is all that matters.
I do hope that John returns in future books, he is a gentle but damaged soul that brings out a different side of Iris. A side all members of the Confession Club, and the town of Mason, can draw from.
