The Friday Night Knitting Club (Friday Night Knitting Club) (Friday Night Knitting Club Novels (Audio)) (Friday Night Knitting Club Novels (Playaway))

by Kate Jacobs

Casting on ! It starts almost by accident: the women who buy their knitting needles and wool from Georgia's store linger for advice, for a coffee, for a chat and before they know it, every Friday night is knitting night. Finding a pattern ! And as the needles clack, and the garments grow, the conversation moves on from patterns and yarn to life, love and everything. These women are of different ages, from different backgrounds and facing different problems, but they are drawn together by threads of affection that prove as durable as the sweaters they knit.

I probably would have gave this another star if it wasn't for the HORRIBLE ending!! Seriously?? After I spent 200 plus pages getting involved in the main character, lets just kill her off when she is finally all happy...gaahh!!!! LOL

I don’t usually find myself picking books from the “chick lit” genre, but I read this for my initial foray into Books-a-Million’s book clubs. I liked this, but Georgia’s involvement in the club always seemed sort of periphery. It was always more Anita’s thing than Georgia’s, and I think allowing it to continue was just another way for Georgia to pretend that she was letting people in while she continued to keep them at arm’s length. I think it’s hard for even the reader to really get to know Georgia, and for that reason I connected more with some of the other characters, mainly Anita, Darwin, and Lucie. What happens to Georgia seems sudden and even unnecessary, almost turning this novel about “sisterhood” into a public service announcement. But overall I did enjoy reading this, and it’s even made me think about picking up knitting again (which I haven’t done in probably 20 years)!
