About the Book

The Fifth Avenue Story Society
Book:  The Fifth Avenue Story Society
Author: Rachel Hauck
Genre:  Contemporary Romance/ Women’s Fiction
Release Date: February 4, 2020

An invitation to join The Fifth Avenue Story Society gives five New York strangers a chance to rewrite their own stories.

Executive assistant Lexa is eager for a much-deserved promotion, but her boss is determined to keep her underemployed.

Literature professor Jett is dealing with a broken heart, as well as a nagging suspicion his literary idol, Gordon Phipps Roth, might be a fraud.

Uber driver Chuck just wants a second chance with his kids.

Aging widower Ed is eager to write the true story of his incredible marriage.

Coral, queen of the cosmetics industry, has broken her engagement and is on the verge of losing her great grandmother’s multimillion-dollar empire.

When all five New Yorkers receive an anonymous, mysterious invitation to the Fifth Avenue Story Society, they suspect they’re victims of a practical joke. No one knows who sent the invitations or why. No one has heard of the literary society. And no one is prepared to bear their deepest secrets to a roomful of strangers.

Yet curiosity and loneliness bring them back week after week to the old library. And it’s there they discover the stories of their hearts, and the kind of friendship and love that heals their souls.


My Review:
First of all, this book is a must-read for a book lover!   The cover is gorgeous and makes me want to escape into this room at  the library.  This feeling was even more heightened after I began reading.  At first, I thought I may have trouble keeping track of the characters and who was who as there were so many names and people being introduced, but that was not the case at all as the characters all began so real and their separate identities.  As I met the five main characters and saw them in their own lives, their own worlds, I felt like I was really meeting them and then when the five met up for their very first meeting, it was another glimpse, but this time the guarded side, the side that they think they are presenting to others and keeping parts hidden. 
I was immediately drawn into this book and the characters' lives and stories.  What I love about Rachel's books is that the characters are so real, they are dealing with the hard things in life, and this is not glossed over and solved or dealt with simply, as of course real life is not like this.  This is a beautiful story that will have you rooting for the characters, leaving you feeling hopeful and seeking such connections in your own life.
