Much ado about Anne:

I review books for teensreadtoo, which is a great site for a number of reasons. Be sure to check it out.



The Mother-Daughter Book Club continues in its second year, this time reading ANNE OF GREEN GABLES. The mothers decided to invite one more pair to the monthly meetings: Becca Chadwick and her mother. Jess, Emma, and Cassidy are horrified to share their meetings with the class mean girl. Megan, Becca’s former friend, doesn’t mind the intrusion so much. In fact, as the days go by, Megan realizes that Becca understands her in ways that her friends can not. While Becca continues snide comments, specifically towards Emma, she’s driving a wedge between the friends. Jess, Cassidy, and Emma can’t understand why Megan’s spending time with Becca and her minions again. When a huge misunderstanding occurs, it looks like Megan might follow Becca and drop out of the book club all together. When tragedy looms before them, can the girls put aside their differences to come together and save something important to them all?

MUCH ADO ABOUT ANNE intertwines the magic of friendship from ANNE OF GREEN GABLES to present day Concord, weaving between sharp words, high emotions, revenge, forgiveness, and happiness. I adored this book and the first one, Mother-Daughter Book Club (where the girls read Little Women). It's just warm and fuzzy that lingers after I've finished the book. I can't wait to see what the next book will bring.
