The Bromance Book Club
Lyssa Kay Adams
352 pages | Published by Berkley
Gavin, a major league baseball player, and his wife Thea are on the verge of a divorce. Gavin has moved into a hotel when his teammates and friends give him an intervention - and invite him to join their book club. Their club is made up of Nashville's most masculine public figures, all of whom have turned to romance novels to help them in their relationships. With help from the guys and their "manuals," Gavin sets out to court his wife and attempt to save their marriage.
I FLEW through this book and loved it from start to finish. I thought this concept was so fun - I loved the idea of a group of hyper-masculine men seeking advice from and discussing romance novels.
It struck me several times how well Adams wrote the small details - she included little gestures and mannerisms that made me feel like I could picture everything more clearly. From smudging and fixing mascara to the little dances that kids do - those are things I don't realize are missing from a lot of books until I see them in another, and I appreciate the attention to detail that Adams uses in her writing.
I was glad that this book was written from both Gavin and Thea’s perspective so that we could see the development of each of them. Both of them grow a lot through the book and it’s clear that neither of them was completely at fault for their issues.
I loved the world that Adams created in this story, and I'm excited to read the follow up, Undercover Bromance, next year!
