This weekend, I read a book that had been on my Amazon Wish List since I met the author two years ago. I finally received it last Christmas and finally started it on Saturday. I recommend The Saving Graces by Patricia Gaffney to the group. I enjoyed it but it didn't blow me away.
The book is about four women who have been close friend for ten years and all the things that their friendships go through during that time. There are romances in the book, but they aren't the focus. All of the characters are likable and I think that Patricia Gaffney did a good job of keeping their voices distinct, except for the fact that two different characters used the word "callow" in their thoughts. If I had to look it up, I don't think the word is in common enough usage to have more than one character use it so naturally, but it was a minor point and maybe just a personal peeve. If you do read this book, you should be prepared for the waterworks that will accompany the last 1-2 hours of reading.
