The Late Bloomers Club by Louise Miller

My review: 3.5 of 5 stars

Set in Guthrie, Vermont and centered around two sisters, The Late Bloomers’ Club is largely about finding your true calling and sense of self a bit later in life. While this novel has small-time charm, it approaches the characters with a more liberal attitude than the more conservative At Home in Mitford (which is the book someone compared this to when recommending it to me). I liked the town well-enough as well as most of the characters, but I was disappointed that the writer chose to include foul language and blatant references to sex. When I think small-town novels, I think cozy and sweet and something I could give to my mother-in-law. The baking and the diner and the sense of community worked for a cozy novel, but the other elements I mentioned soured it a bit. It’s not a bad book, just not what I was expecting. Nevertheless, I read it in one or two sittings and liked it overall.

Please note: In accordance with FTC guidelines, I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Quotes:

“Why is it that people from the city think that money can solve all problems?” (p. 53)

“Change was inevitable. But that didn’t mean that I welcomed it” (p. 85).

“I had always thought that mornings were a time to take things in, so you would have something to savor later” (p. 212).
