About the Book
Book: The Fifth Avenue Story SocietyAuthor: Rachel Hauck
Genre: Contemporary Romance/ Women’s Fiction
Release Date: February 4, 2020
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.

Book Review
You know something interesting and exciting will happen when a diverse group of people receive a mysterious invitation to a story society. And that’s exactly what happened. There’s a college professor and his ex-wife, an Uber driver, the owner of a big cosmetics company, and an older man who just wants to write about his love story. But they all have something in common-broken lives and painful pasts, all carrying deep secrets.
I do have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was unsure of it in the beginning, but the more I got into it, the more I was interested in it. The unknown of the characters’ past is what kept me reading and not wanting to stop.
The book deals with death, betrayal, broken marriages, and heartbreak. But it is also filled with love and hope. It’s not always easy, as Rachel Hauck so bluntly presents, but the end result is worth it all. You just have to have patience and trust in God.
I had received a copy of this book as part of the Celebrate Lit Blogging Team and was required to give an honest review.
