Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The New York Times bestselling sensation that's 'Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan' (USA Today)-now in paperback.

Juggling the demands of her yarn shop and single-handedly raising a teenage daughter has made Georgia Walker grateful for her Friday Night Knitting Club. Her friends are happy to escape their lives too, even for just a few hours. But when Georgia's ex suddenly reappears, demanding a role in their daughter's life, her whole world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgia's friends are there, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they've created isn't just a knitting club: it's a sisterhood.

- So Boring
I struggled to finish this book. The characters are shallow. The plot is equivalent to that of a lame Lifetime movie. I wonder why this book has been a bestseller for so long. Maybe because its an easy read? I just thought it was a waste of my time.

Rating:

- fun, easy read
I enjoyed reading this book. For the most part, the characters are easy to visualize and follow. However, there are too many characters, which just complicate the story. I thought it had a good message regarding relationships and friendship and would recommend it.

- Steel Magnolias in a Knitting Store
This book was an easy read and as I turned each page I was anticipating something DIFFERENT than the highly popular movie, Steel Magnolias. It was disappointing and if I wanted to relive the movie I would have rented it instead of reading a similar version of it which takes place in a Knitting store.

- Not memorable, but a pleasant read
Georgia Walker is a single mom who has raised a daughter while balancing the responsibilities of her own business. Women tend to congregate in Georgia's yarn shop and eventually the Friday Night Knitting Club is born. There are several women in this group and the author fills us in on their backgrounds and current situations. As the book progresses, the women go through divorce, illness, and changing relationships with each other and with family members.

I would have to agree with many other reviewers that these characters never became fully real or well-developed for me. Their stories were interesting, but they were told in a somewhat distant manner by the author and I did not become fully engaged in their situations. Still it was not a bad read and some women will probably enjoy it more than I did.
