The Most Likely Club

The Most Likely Club is a fun story about friendships, family, motherhood and second chances.

If you are like me and went to high school in the 90s this book will appeal to you. I just loved the 90s flashbacks, music references, clothing (can we please bring back baggy jeans), etc, and had a blast remembering my high school years as I read.

I also appreciated how this may have been a lighthearted story, but Friedland took on the serious issues and fears of having to confront your own life and make the changes you need for the better no matter your age.

Even though there were little pieces to this book that I enjoyed, I still just couldn’t connect with the characters or get into the story. There were a lot of miss opportunities for this group of ladies to support each other that left a bad taste in my mouth. For example, they started trashing each other with snide remarks when one character was having problems with her child. One other big issue I had...I’m not sure if I’m allowed to comment on this since I’m not bisexual, but…I had issues with how the bisexual MC was written. I didn't think it was appropriate in the way that she was constantly willing to cheat on her partner with whoever and whenever. It just seemed like an extremely damaging stereotype to put onto a bisexual character in particular.

I read this one with Kaley, and I’m so glad I had her to discuss the lives of the characters with and how I felt about the story as a whole.
