When I read my book club read for September, This Summer will be Different, I loved learning about Prince Edward Island off the coast of Canada, with its red dirt and rugged coastlines. And I was also excited to discover that Anne of Green Gables was set there, a book on my 100 Book Challenge list. I took it as a serendipitous sign that I should read this one next.

For the first time in my life I’ve joined a book club. It’s through my local gym and will be a lot of fun, but I’m not expecting the chosen books to be anything too deep or challenging to read. After all, book clubs are less about plot, structure and character arcs, and more about wine and cheese and gossiping about last week’s gym instructor, right?
Our book club book for September was This Summer will be Different by Carley Fortune, and I have to say it was a refreshing change to the classics I’ve been reading as part of this 100 Book Challenge. I couldn’t help making comparisons between the book club book and Madame Bovary, which was my 59th book in the challenge.
