Book Club Babies by Ashton LeeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The Cherry Cola Book Club reconvenes one final time in Ashton Lee’s Book Club Babies. It’s winter in Cherico, Mississippi and three club members are about to have babies. Led by librarian Maura Beth McShay, the club and the town come together to help out the three ladies, and particularly for Periwinkle Place who delivered prematurely. The overall message of the book is that family is sometimes the ones you surround yourself with. This short read is another cozy conundrum about small-town life in the south.
This was a cute and entertaining book and a nice respite from some of the heavy books I generally read. This is not a book of substance and is predictable and kitschy. It is worth the read if you're looking for something a bit mindless and a bit cozy. I enjoyed the series but at times the dialogue is a bit juvenile and at other times it is what is expected of the sixth edition of a series. I have seen Lee's writing progress over the series and have enjoyed the characters. I did enjoy the books enough to continue following Lee and see what he comes out with next.
