USA TODAY BESTSELLER • An uplifting novel about friendship, surprising revelations, and a second chance at love, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Story of Arthur Truluv. When a group of friends in Mason, Missouri, decide to start a monthly supper club, they get more than they bargained for. The plan for congenial evenings—talking, laughing, and sharing recipes, homemade food, and … and sharing recipes, homemade food, and wine—abruptly changes course one night when one of the women reveals something startlingly intimate. The supper club then becomes Confession Club, and the women gather weekly to share not only dinners but embarrassing misdeeds, deep insecurities, and long-held regrets.
They invite Iris Winters and Maddy Harris to join, and their timing couldn’t be better. Iris is conflicted about her feelings for a charming but troubled man, and Maddy has come back home from New York to escape a problem too big to handle alone. The club offers exactly the kind of support they need to help them make some difficult decisions.
The Confession Club is charming, heartwarming, and inspiring. And as in the previous books that take place in Mason, readers will find friendship, community, and kindness on full display.
Advance praise for The Confession Club
“[A] feel-good testament to taking risks, falling love, and reinvention . . . Berg effortlessly wraps her arms around this busy universe of quirky characters with heartbreaking secrets and unflagging faith. . . . Readers new to Berg’s Mason will be dazzled by this bright and fascinating story, and fans will be cheering for the next volume.”—Publishers Weekly

What started as a dinner club for close friends, becomes a time of sharing. When someone divulges a secret that has been bothering them, others start confessing, too. Thus, weekly, the friends start confessing to something, sharing an event in their lives that has been on their minds. The revelation and the acceptance afterwards are so soothing! Especially to Iris and Maddy, newcomers to the group.
This is a wonderful story of true friendship and what it really means to accept someone as they are. The characters in Berg’s book will make you laugh and cry and think about what friendship means to you. Do you have something that you wish you could reveal to such a group of friends?
I have always loved Elizabeth Bergs books and they always seem to hit me during a time of life that the particular book resonates with me. I soak them in like the sun. This is the 3rd in the Arthur Trulove series. I loved these ladies of the Confession Club. So good to see an author write about women as they continue their lives in the more mature ages and still have strength and hope and success. Always looking forward to EB’s next book!
