The Smitten gals are back with their newest release, Smitten Book Club! Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, and Denise Hunter are celebrating with a Kindle Fire giveaway, a Facebook party on February 20, and a nationwide book-club brunch on March 22.
About the Book
The century-old Gentlewoman’s Guide to Love and Courtship is no ordinary book club choice. But for the little book club in Smitten, Vermont, it might be their best pick yet!
The thick, leathery tome Heather pulled out of the dusty cardboard box was definitely coming home with her. Not only was
The Gentlewoman’s Guide to Love and Courtship an appealing curiosity by virtue of its title; it was also written by Smitten, Vermont native Pearl Chambers, a local gentlewoman from three generations back.
Little did Heather know the repercussions this little curiosity would have on her and her friends’ romantic exploits.
When Heather and her fellow book club members begin passing the book around, their respective interpretations are unleashed on their respective love lives . . . for better or for worse. Is it a mystery? An idealist fantasy? An intimation of Jane Austen? As romantic love finds its way to each woman, the Guide proves itself both surprisingly prescient and hilariously irrelevant.
What’s more, a handwritten inscription indicates that the arcane book might hold the only extant clues leading to buried gold—exactly what one of the members needs to keep her house. How could they not go treasure hunting?
In this remarkable collaborative novel, besties Colleen Coble, Kristin Billerbeck, Denise Hunter, and Diann Hunt tackle the tale of the Gentlewoman’s Guide by writing for one book club member apiece. Smitten Book Club is a hopeful, hilarious story of friendship and healing, written by friends for friends.

My Review:
I really liked this book for a couple different reasons. I enjoyed that each member of the book club was written by a different author. Not only did this make the writing style unique it also made the characters unique and more believable. The each had their own voice and they each dealt with love and other issues their own way. Even though that is how most characters are in books, these characters were different without trying to be. They were great characters and I have been to many book sales at libraries and have seen "old" books. However I have never seen a book with a "treasure" map. I loved this quaint little town and I live in Connecticut and have been to Vermont. This book made me want to go back. There are rarely towns that are willing to help each other like the residents of Smitten. Each author brought a great addition to this anthology and I can not wait for them to work together again. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
