The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

wow. what an incredible book. I thought...that it would be too girly (which is NOT my kind of book) or maybe cheesie. It was neither. It has the perfect blend and the most accurate voice of a woman I've ever read. It shows how as women we laugh at our friend's love and cry with each other's pain ~ even when we can't cry or laugh at our own. It shows how we love each other and love being women and love being mothers.
It's an amazing read. One that I recommend to women everywhere.
Now, who wants to croshay with me? ;)… (more)

The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

I want to like books like these but in the end there always seems to be lacking something. Don't know what exactly.
