The Mother Daughter Book Club by Heather Vogel Frederick
I’ve been wanting to read this book for a while. I did a book club in my single days and enjoyed it – but mostly, I enjoyed the camraderie that we all had when we came together. I often think about starting a mother daughter one, but then my shyness comes out, and I wonder if it will be a success. That’s a topic for the shrink, I suppose.
I did like this book. I like the ideas; Moms wanting to spend time with their daughters; daughters relcutant; but eventually seeing the benefits; the girls having their own pre-teen relationship issues; and life in general. I did think that there could have been more character development. It seemed as though some of the issues were mentioned, resolved and the girls quickly moved on. I do think it was a little more mature than my daughter thinks right now. She is only 8, and has made some very good very friends. All the girls she is friends with are very sweet. She has yet to deal with the nastiness that I know is coming.
I did enjoy this book, and I know there is a series of them. When the time comes, I’m sure my daughter will enjoy them; and perhaps, we will start that Book Club!
