It was like the words just flowed out of her and she knew how to access some genuine emotions. (I won't say why as to not spoil things.) There were some really touching moments that just seemed effortless from the author's end. The story was beautifully written and I even cried without expecting to. In the meantime, there were little cliffhangers to keep me guessing until their turn came up again. I was worried that I'd have to wait too long between each woman's chapter to find out what was going on in their life, but through the other chapters, I'd find out bits and pieces of what was going on with them. Each character was interesting and sympathetic in her own way and I looked forward to seeing what would happen for them. They all had intriguing and even heartbreaking stories. However, the largest draw to the novel was finding out what would happen for each of the women. I wouldn't say Meryl Streep is my favorite actress of all time, but she is very talented and I've seen a bunch of movies she starred in. I had heard about this novel almost a year before it was published and was definitely intrigued. Meanwhile, the women and their aunt/mother gather to watch and discuss Meryl Streep films, which may be holding the answers they've been looking for all along. Now he promises to give her everything she wants, but in the wake of her mother's announcement, she's not so sure she wants it. She's been best friends with Oliver ever since they were kids. Their cousin, Kat, wants to start her own bakery. She also is trying to find the father of her child and what she finds out about him will affect all the hopes and dreams she's been holding on to since the day he abandoned her. Her sister, June, works at a bookstore and the branch where she felt safest is closing down, taking her home along with it. She's not sure whether to be sad or relieved, since their marriage went downhill after she threw a wrench into their secret pact. Isabel welcomes the opportunity to flee from her husband, whom she caught cheating. Their aunt has news for everyone, something she even kept from her own daughter until this time.

One summer weekend, two sisters are summoned to the home (and bed and breakfast) of their aunt and cousin, with whom they've been living since their parents died in a car accident that also claimed their uncle.

Wait.who am I kidding? I LOVE movies and the fact that this book was about a movie CLUB was enough to grab my attention right away! Needless to say, the story was impossible to put down!

There's something so inviting about a bowl of popcorn and a cozy couch, which is why I was drawn in to reading Mia March's debut novel, The Meryl Streep Movie Club.
