The Friday Night Knitting Club by: Kate Jacobs
Read & Reviewed by: Nemo
Nemo's Review: I would give this book 4.5 stars! Any single mother's life has to be hectic. Add in running your own business in NYC and things just become insane, especially when your little girl starts to become a teenager. The Friday Night Knitting Club focuses on Georgia Walker, her 12 year old daughter and the women that surround them. The stories of the various women in the book, while they don't so much intersect, are all very well developed and follow certain themes like betrayal and the woes of everyday life as a woman. I took off half a star because there are a few instances where the pacing of the book is an issue, but there are a few plot twists thrown in that keep you coming back for more!
Synopsis: Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives…
At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered.
Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.
