“The Calamity Club” by Kathryn Stockett
Published by Spiegel & Grau
The Help was a 5-star read for me and this one is another
great book at 4.5 stars. The only reason
I can’t give it the full 5 is because it dragged a little in the middle. However, the last 25-30% will have you on the
edge of your seat for a good amount of it even though it’s not a thriller or
mystery. You just don’t want anything negative
to happen to the characters that you adore.
I loved Meg and I loved Birdie, and their time together was
fantastic. The majority of the side
characters that entered the story were also well developed, whether you loved
them or loved to hate them. Together,
they bring about 2 wonderful, intertwined stories showing strength and courage
to overcome a variety of obstacles. Some
aspects of this story are probably seen as political but it’s historical fiction,
that’s going to happen. It’s not jamming
any opinions down your throat, but it will make you grateful not to be living
in 1933. I highly recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Spiegel & Grau for the
complimentary copy of this book. As
always, the opinions expressed within this honest review are completely my own.
Finished 5/7/26 – 4.5/5 stars
