With its historic charm and picture-perfect library, the Maple Sugar Inn is considered the ultimate vacation destination. But widowed far too young, and exhausted from juggling the hotel with being a dedicated single mom, Hattie Coleman dreams only of making it through each day.
When Erica, Claudia and Anna—lifelong friends who seem to have it all—check in for a girlfriends’ book club holiday, it changes everything. Their close friendship and shared love of books have carried them through life's ups and downs. But Hattie can see they're also packing some major emotional baggage, and nothing prepares her for how deeply her own story is about to become entwined in theirs.
In the span of a week, can these four women come together to improve each other’s lives and make this the start of a whole new chapter?

I borrowed a copy of this from my library as it was the December book selection for my primary book club. This is my honest review.
If you are looking for an upbeat, quick read this holiday season (or next holiday season since I'm so late actually posting this review), this would be a great book to meet that desire. It has the added benefit of being low conflict with a sprinkling of holiday magic.
Hattie has been barely treading water since her husband died, trying to run their inn his way for two years, but something clearly needs to give. Enter Erica, Claudia, and Anna who are visiting the inn for their annual week long book club meeting. They just happen to be present when Hattie loses Brent's (her deceased husband) two most valuable employees, and they are, coincidentally, uniquely suited to help. And there's a logical reason why they're so willing to help.
In the end, Anna learns to embrace the changes coming her way, Claudia discovers a new direction for her life, and Erica's heart grows three sizes and thaws a little. Everyone gets their own personal happily ever after.
Overall I give The Book Club Hotel 4.3768 out of 5 stars. - Katie
