"[With] a set of characters so vivid we want to be their best friends and a story that keeps us turning the pages, The Best Life Book Club is your book club book of the year... A novel of pure delight!" —Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Book of Flora Lea
It started as a book club. It became a way to build a better life together.
Karissa Newcomb is ready for a new start in a new neighborhood, as far away as she can get from Seattle, where her husband cheated on her with the neighbor who was supposed to be her best friend. She and her nine-year-old daughter are moving on to the city of Gig Harbor on the bay in Puget Sound. She even has a new job as an assistant at a small publishing company right in Gig Harbor. Her new boss seems like a bit of a curmudgeon, but a job is a job, she loves to read, and the idea of possibly meeting writers sounds fabulous.
Soon she finds she's not the only one in need of a refresh. Her new neighbors, Alice and Margot, are dealing with their own crises. Alice is still grieving her late husband and hasn't been able to get behind the wheel of a car since a close call after his death. Margot is floundering after getting divorced and laid off in quick succession. They could all use a distraction, and a book club seems like just the ticket. Together, the three women, along with Alice's grumpy older sister, Josie, embark on a literary journey that just might be the kick start they need to begin building their best lives yet.

      After dumping her cheating husband, Karissa Newcomb is ready for a fresh start, and that includes a new home in Gig Harbor with her young daughter, Macy, and a new job with Heron Publishing. Divorced and out of work, Margot Burns is doing her best to land another job, but what she is really passionate about is developing an idea for an app that could put her back on solid financial footing. Widowed Alice Strong believes she is doing fine. Alice's sister, Josie, would beg to differ since she believes Alice's world is getting smaller by the day. When the four women form a neighborhood book club, they not only find themselves bonding over books, they also discover a brighter future for themselves. With a dash of humor and a charmingly relatable cast of characters, Roberts (The Twelve Months of Christmas, 2023) smartly leans into her storytelling strengths with another heart-warming and hopeful tale that celebrates family, friendship, food, and love as well as the power of books to bring us together.
