First of all, OMG, ya’ll, where has this author been hiding? Secondly, I am kicking myself for taking so long to read this book! Honestly, I adored this book and everything about it. From the small-town community feel that gave me major Steel Magnolia vibes to the individual characters and their story lines that were so expertly fleshed out and unique. Before I started this book, I thought it was going to be a real pill trying to keep four, yes, FOUR main characters and their plots straight. I thought that it would be a real cluster and it would have been better if this were actually four separate books, but new to me author Julie Pennell totally nailed it!

Besides the characters, I also loved that the author rotates each character’s point of view for each chapter but doesn’t give the story a choppy isolated feel. By that, I mean that even though each chapter focuses on a different character, the other characters are still present and play supporting roles in each other’s story, like best friends do.

The character development and the plot pace were perfect. It was so easy to get to know these women, their history, their situations and it felt like I could be friends with all of them. I had enormous amounts of empathy for each of them and the struggles they were facing. I especially loved that the author takes the time to bring it all full circle, some with unexpected results, but it worked brilliantly! Books like this that bring so many warm fuzzies to my bookworm heart is the reason I love to read and share with others.

My Final Verdict: For the love of God, get this book! Now. Do you have it yet? I will definitely read anything this author writes, even her grocery list and you should too.

Did not have time to read this book - still on my TBR. Thank you for the opportunity and my apologies for not getting to it.

I wasn't able to get into this one. I tried until 24% and decided it just wasn't for me. Thank you for the opportunity to read this title.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this title. Unfortunately in this instance,I didn't connect to the story. As I didn't finish reading, I will not be reviewing this title. Many thanks and I do look forward to picking up another read from this author.

Such an interesting story about friendship and relationships. The wives were, in fact, young, but sometimes seemed immature. I did appreciate the detail put into their stories and the personalization of each of them by the author. A sweet, southern story filled with humor, happiness, and disappointments.

What is it about some women's literature that just speaks to me? This book is so much more than the blurb suggests.

This book isn't just about four lifelong friends trying to grow up and find their ways as adults. It's about love and loss; it's about moving forward and leaving things behind. It's about learning to come home when it counts.

I found myself immersed in these women's lives. They are completely relate-able. Their lives are relate-able. The things they go through are very realistic.

This book is another winner for me in women's literature. It's another story that will stick with me.

Women’s fiction is about the journey but it’s also about the relationships –with family, friends, children, and that special partner. We're told all our lives to make a difference in someone else's life—by acts of kindness or the hand of friendship and in some cases the embrace of love. These wonderful stories illustration the veracity of that. You can't helped but be charmed, entertained, and touched as these strong women face tough and difficult challenges.

A sweet if not somewhat sedate new adult story about young women trying to find their way.

The Young Wives Club by Julie Pennell is funny, enjoyable and a truly delightful read! Ms. Pennell really did a wonderful job in writing this heart warming story. It's engaging, creative, funny and sad all at the same time. The characters are realistic, resilient and lovable. I laughed, cried, cheered and smiled my way through this delightful book. 4.5 Stars!

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of reading The Young Wives Club. If you like reading Women's Fiction ~ this book will definitely hit the mark!

I received this book for free. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are my own. Thank you to Atria/Emily Bestler Books/Alloy Entertainment and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

In retrospect, it's fair to say I wasn't the target demographic for this book. It's not that it's about "young wives" that's the problem. It's that the oldest of these young wives is all of twenty-one years old. The youngest is eighteen, dropped out of high school to marry her quarterback boyfriend who was headed off to play football for LSU, and has now realized, after more than a year of marriage, that maybe this wasn't such a great idea. Maybe she wanted, for instance, to finish high school and be doing her own college-level work rather than her husband's.

In fairness, Laura is the only one of the four "young wives" whom anyone (specifically, her mother) tried to suggest should wait.

Laura, Claire (the old lady of the group, married to a minister), Gabby, and Madison are all likable, well-drawn characters. Their men, and their families, friends, and neighbors, are all well-drawn as well. The writing is good. None of that is the issue I have with this book.

No, the problem is that the author is a southerner who shares the belief of her characters that getting married right out of high school is perfectly normal, adult, and responsible, while I'm a New Englander. where pretty much nobody gets married before their mid-twenties. As to whether this is "just a cultural difference" or one of these viewpoints is objectively more correct than the other, I would suggest you check out the relative divorce rates of, say Massachusetts vs. Louisiana.

Laura's obvious mistake in dropping out of high school to marry a guy going to college on a football scholarship aside, Claire was apparently nineteen when she married Pastor Gavin Thibodeaux, and at just twenty-one, is still rather young to be caring for an infant child, managing his entire social media presence, and ghostwriting a book for him; Gabby has fallen in love with, and gets engaged to, a genuinely good, solid man (he's a lawyer, so old enough to have graduated law school), to whom she has lied about every important detail of her life; Madison is hung up on an ambitious wannabe rock star, who treats her like dirt, while seeing an older, richer guy who treats her with respect, solely because he can help pay the bills for her parents now that her father, who is dying of cancer, is no longer able to work.

Let's note that Madison is motivated by genuine love and concern for her parents, while still noting that this is neither good behavior, nor longterm sensible: George, the guy with both money and good character, is worth about a million times more than Cash, the guy she's been hung up on since childhood, but who has no good character traits at all. It doesn't really matter where you place the moral blame in any particular case. I'd say that overall, it's fairly evenly distributed. Cash is just a straight up exploitive jerk, but really, although with much more sympathetic motives, so is Madison. Laura and Claire are both trying to do the right thing in their marriages, but at least in Claire's case, it's not clear that Gavin isn't trying, too. Gabby recognizes the hole she's dug for herself, and just can't make herself do the right thing.

But the real problem here is that none of these women, and only a couple of the men, were even old enough to be making the commitment of marriage. They're adult-sized adolescents. More of the so-called adults around them needed to be encouraging them to finish their educations, grow up, and then decide about marriage. Yes, some of this is just cultural difference. But, I say again, compare the divorce rates. I don't care how it was in your great-grandparents' day. High school graduation is not a great time to announce your engagement. It's too young. And the only one in this book who gets dinged for marrying too young is Laura, who dropped out of high school to do it.

And neither the author nor any of her characters seeems to consider natural lack of maturity to be any part of the problem, here.

If you think getting married right out of high school is terribly romantic, or just completely normal, you'll probably like this book. The characters and the writing are very good. Personally, though, I have to say, not recommended.

I received a free electronic galley of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.

I must admit I was totally taken aback with this novel. I was pleasantly surprised how charming, witty and wonderfully written it was. I was expecting a fluffy read but it was so much more, I loved how empowering it was. This is one read that gives you so much more and will leave you loving these characters and wanting more.

Truthfully, The Young Wives Club by Julie Pennell isn't a swoony read. Yes, I know that makes the subtitle of this post misleading, but I didn't want to change it and had to include this book. Hear me out! Set in a small town in Louisiana, it's the story of four friends who have each other's back through thick and thin. They're muddling through different romantic situations: one is a newlywed, one is a new parent, one is in a new relationship and one still holding out that her love will finally commit. Although they're in different places in their lives, what I loved is that they all have similar lessons to learn. Their growth (both individually and together) is at the heart of the story. Each of the four girls gets their own point of view, which was initially confusing but got better over time. It's a character-driven story with engaging writing and an interesting Southern setting. The plot sometimes felt a little far-fetched, but the characters' journeys were worth reading. Their romantic relationships aren't really the point - because honestly, almost every man in here is awful. But this is the book to pick up if you're looking for female friendships and women learning who they are and what they want out of life. I So Liked It, and I couldn't put it down once I started it.

The young wives club

This is what reading is all about. The type of book that makes you feel and one that makes you think. The Young Wives Club is just the type of book that has all of that and more. The girls of the book were so damn relatable and so damn awesome that I could cry tears of joy. I was able to relate to each and every one of them in some kind of way. In the end, the book teaches us a very important lesson; follow your dreams, do you, and don't let anyone try to tell you how to live your life. Empowerment. If I could describe the book in one word, it would be empowerment.

We follow the individual stories of four friends as they go through life, love, love lost, betrayal, lies, and eventually finding ones self. I won't go into each one of the girls stories but each and every one of them show us how life sometimes has a different plan in store for each and every one of us. They struggled but found a way to come or on top and do what they thought best for themselves. Men. We all love men. But they aren't what makes us who we are. And I think the book showed us that as women, we have so much more potential if we just believe ok ourselves.

I love that. And I love this story so much. Sure, some of the storylines left me a little disappointed (I'm looking at you Cash) but overall, I fell in love. I want another book like this but for now I guess I'll settle with reading more books from the author. Fall in love me and get this wonderful book!

The Young Wives Club held all of the promise of an enjoyable novel about four friends reuniting together in the same time as they try and navigate life as young adults in a small town. Each of the four characters had their own unique and engaging storylines, while many of the details felt far-fetched at times, you still find a connection with the characters and want to continue reading. While the girl's romantic relationships were interesting and a main focus of the plot, I found myself wishing more time was spent focusing on their friendship. Towards the end of the novel I found myself distracted by the writing where it seemed randomly descriptive sentences were tossed in where they didn't flow or fit with the writing style of the book as a whole. Overall, an enjoyable light read!

would have been better prepared to be in the proper mind-set to read this book had it been listed under New Adult or Young Adult, That is where I believe this book belongs. However, even though these women are essentially 'girls' (17/18 to 20) when they marry, it is not unusual to us women (and men) of a certain age. I got married the first time at 19 and the second at 25, so I can grasp the idea behind this book.

This book does a great job of showing young women NOT to hitch their lives, wants and needs to someone else and especially not a man.

With four different story-lines it is at times a book that is stretched a little thin, but in the end we get a fairly good HEA for all -it may not seem it at the time, but yes in the long run each woman got exactly what they needed.

4.5 Stars

A well-written story about friendship, love, heartbreak and finding yourself (with or without a man!). The Young Wives Club is a debut novel by Ms. Pennell and a fantastic read. It's about best girlfirends who have each other's back!

This book follows four best friends who recently graduated from high school from their small town of Toulouse, Louisiana. Each of these ladies followed their hearts and became young wives, but their lives were far from perfect. I felt connected with each of these characters and I couldn't get enough of their story. Laura, Madison, Gabrielle and Claire looked the part of having the perfect life to outsiders, but inside, these ladies where feeling the stress of being young and in love. Having the "perfect" marriage/relationship wasn't easy or what they expected it to be.

Laura and Claire's story really had me gasping and wanting more each chapter! Laura Landry married her high school sweetheart. The star quarterback who had dreams of making it to the pros and taking Laura along the ride. They were going to live the dream. But when he gets hurt and ends up sidelined for surgery, Brian and Laura dreams turned into just that...dreams that seem so far away. And Laura finds herself questioning her marriage and the direction of her life. This girl had so much potential, but instead of following her head, she followed her heart. Honestly, I probably would of too.

I was really invested in Laura and Brian's relationship. Also, with Claire and her husband, Gavin. I really wanted to believe his late nights at work was just that (no spoilers here!--and no there's really no cheating...), but Claire soon finds out that having the perfect marriage isn't what life is all about. Saying no and taking charge of her own life is what she needs to do. As for the rest of the girls in this book, it was entertaining with plenty of drama and angst. Each of these ladies found their own HEA--the way it was meant to be!

Overall, this book is empowering, charming and shows that you should following both your heart and head so you can live your life the way you want.

I had such a hard time putting this book down! It’s a really character-driven story about friendship and relationships and learning from your mistakes. The chapters switch POV between four young women and the relationship and life troubles they face.

*While I don’t consider any of the below descriptions a spoiler, some readers might find it mildly spoiler-ish, so proceed with caution*

Gabrielle
Gabrielle was probably my favorite of the bunch. However, her problem is one of my pet peeves in books, which is when one simple conversation could solve all the problems, but that conversation doesn’t come until close to the end of the book. Gabby has had a hard life and when she meets a nice, cute guy in a bar she lies a little about her life. (I loved Tony, by the way. He was so sweet and pretty much just the perfect guy – I was just waiting for him to do something awful because no guy can be that great.) She doesn’t expect to see him again, but she does and they fall in love and the lies spin out of control. The truth about Gabby, obviously, has to come out some time, though. I still didn’t like how Gabby handled it, but I did like how it all resolved in the end.

Madison
Madison was probably the hardest of the girls for me to like. She was one of the youngest, recently graduated from high school, and had the most growing up to do. She’s in a non-committed relationship with the clichéd bad boy musician, has no real future goals, her dad has recently been diagnosed with cancer, and her family is approaching financial crisis. When her dad’s former boss, George, comes to visit and shows a bit of an interest in her, she decides to milk it. While they both know what she’s doing, it still came across as a little too manipulative to me. But on the other hand, George is in his early thirties so I can’t feel too bad for what he puts himself through by pursuing a teenaged girl.

While Madison was probably the most selfish character of the group, she did grow up a little as the story went on. I did really like her close relationship with her father. I also liked how her relationship with George ended up.

Claire
I really wanted to like Claire and I did for the most part, but I just didn’t respect her for so much of the story. She is the wife of a pastor, who is running a mega-church, even though he’s in his very early twenties. Claire is also very involved in the church. When she finds out that Gavin is doing very un-pastor-like things, she doesn’t confront him, but starts to question what she did wrong and then blames a third party, as well. When the confrontation finally comes with Gavin I still wasn’t satisfied with it. There was very little emphasis about what this meant to his job as a pastor or to their church or the members of the congregation. In fact, we never even find out if there’s any fall out, other than what it means to their marriage. I’m just disappointed that once again the Christian faith is so poorly misrepresented in mainstream fiction.

Laura
Laura dropped out of high school to marry and follow her football star boyfriend to college. She’s planned her whole life around him becoming a professional player, but all that is put in jeopardy when he gets hurt and they have to move back home with his parents. Laura is another character who had so much growing up to do and I think she made the most progress. She decided to go back to high school and get her diploma. While there she befriends a new guy who challenges her academically and makes her really start to consider having her own goals and not just following Brian’s. Though she wasn’t my favorite of the girls, her story arc was. Not everything turns out perfectly, but it seemed the most realistic and I was really proud of all she learned.

Overall
Overall, I really enjoyed The Young Wives Club (and it’s gorgeous cover!). It’s a well-written, character-driven story that I could hardly put down. Though the characters weren’t always very likable, I really appreciated how much growth all of them showed throughout the book. I also really liked that things didn’t just magically work out for all of them, but they had to work at it and learn to be ok if things in their life turned out a little differently than they expected. I definitely recommend this to fans of character-driven novels.

Overall Rating (out of 5): 4 Stars

This book wasn’t a bad read, but at the same time, the storytelling was simple enough that it didn’t make much of an impression.

Basically, the novel details the marital misadventures of four young women from a small town in Louisiana. Two of them are married, but their marriages have developed problems. The other two young women find prospective spouses in the course of the book, but their relationships don’t run smoothly, either. The book details how the four of them choose to deal with the men in their lives to get their own versions of a happy (ish) ending.

I liked all of the main characters enough to keep reading to find out what happened to them. The plot is pretty simple, though, with the main focus being on whether or not marriage is the right choice for each of them. There’s some exploration of the importance of the friendships between women, but at the same time, most of the emphasis is on each woman’s individual actions.

I had a hard time with one aspect of the story—the age of the women. The oldest ones are 22; the other two are younger. I grew up in a rural area, and I know it’s more common for women to marry young in small towns. But their age still niggled at me, because they generally just seemed so young and ill prepared for life, much less marriage. They do grow up a bit in the course of the book, thankfully.

If the age issue doesn’t bother you and you’re looking for a women’s fiction novel that’s a light read, you might want to give this book a try.

An eARC of this novel was provided by the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
