The Fifth Avenue Story Society By Rachel Hauck

I received this book from Celebrate Lit Blogger Program and the author for no charge in exchange for my honest review of this book. The opinions expressed here are my own.


Book Description: 

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 Thoughts:  

The Fifth Avenue Story Society is the latest book by Rachel Hauck and I absolutely loved it. I am a huge fan of Rachel Haucks and of course books so it was a match made in Heaven. Rachel Hauck is one of my must read authors.  This book is beautifully written. Rachel Hauck writes with authority about books, writing them, New York, historic buildings in New York, and about people from all walks of life. This story is about 5 different people who receive an invitation to The Fifth Avenue Story Society from an anonymous person.  Each week they grow closer together and seem to get together as a time of fellowship and friendship. I found all of the characters in this story to be real people dealing with real life things we all face. I found myself drawn to Coral. Coral was born into the multimillion-dollar life, having to figure out her next steps in life. She struggles with so many things that are the same things all people deal with. I could not put this book down. I was drawn to this book from cover to cover. I cannot say enough good about this story and this author.  I highly recommend this book and author to anyone who likes to read Contemporary Christian Stories, you will not be disappointed.  I give this book 5 STARS.
