book therapy: in a bookclub far away

There are few things that excite me as much as seeing a new release from a friend. And having the honor of reading an ARC (advance reader copy) is like winning the lottery. I adored Tif's earlier releases and even had the pleasure of doing an in-person event with her in early March to launch Once Upon a Sunset. 

It was an absolute pleasure spending last weekend with Regina, Adelaide, and Sophie (and no, I didn't get anything else done but who cares when you're lost in a good book!).

From Goodreads:
Regina Castro, Adelaide Wilson-Chang, and Sophie Walden usedto be best friends. As Army wives at Fort East, they bonded during  heir book club and soon became inseparable. But when an unimaginable betrayal happened amongst the group, the friendship abruptly ended, and they haven’t spoken since.

That’s why, eight years later, Regina and Sophie are shocked when they get a call for help from Adelaide. Adelaide’s husband is stationed abroad, and without any friends or family near her new home of Alexandria, Virginia, she has no one to help take care of her young daughter when she has to undergo emergency surgery. For the sake of an innocent child, Regina and Sophie reluctantly put their differences aside to help an old friend.

As the three women reunite, they must overcome past hurts and see if there’s any future for their friendship. Featuring Tif Marcelo’s signature “enchanting prose” (Amy E. Reichert, author of The Coincidence of Coconut Cake) and the books that brought them together in the first place, In a Book Club Far Awayhonors the immense power of female friendship and how love can defy time, distance, and all old wounds.
