AAAAH OH GOD. OH GOD. OH GOD.

So fun. So heartwarming. So full of things that make us feel light and happy, and hoping that love could be reached after all. Also, made me realize that all men should make more effort to “conquer” their wives, and girlfriends and all.
I loved (obsessed loved) the Bookclub!! I loved the idea of a group of really “male” men - they're massive, gorgeous looking baseball players, for god'sake... they are hot. Like, insanely hot. period - discussing their love lives in a male way, although needing the help of historical romance books - their manuals - to get things right.

As a loyal and almost obsessed reader of this book gender, I can relate. Guilty of this pleasure combined with the shame that all covers of those books can bring while reading it (thanks e-readers to exist and mastering the art of hiding it), hit me directly in the guts.

Criticizing the toxic masculinity that surrounds us all every day, like not drinking pumpkin latte, or dressing up with their daughters, nor saying what they felt or fear to their partners; are small things, pointed in an envolving charismatic way by the author, are tips/dots that can make a total difference of what matters in the end.

I LOL with all of these, since the very beginning. I enjoyed myself reading it, and had tons of fun. And despite the very romantic and femme ton of the book, the idea of a male narrator was precisely the ton it requires.

The ending was a little cliché. I was indeed hoping that the big gesture was made by Thea and not Gavin, with all the boys, running desperately to find the woman in her father's wedding.

And I definitely can't wait for the next one in the series!
For now, it's one of the favourites of the year.

second review:

I'm still in love with it.
