About the Book

Book: The Fifth Avenue Story Society

Author: 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.

The Fifth Avenue Story Society by Rachel Hauck
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

I am blessed to be connected to some wonderful authors, and there are certain writers that the minute I see they have released a new book, I don’t even read the description. I KNOW I want to read it! And Rachel Hauck is one of those extraordinary people. I have had the privilege of reading a few of her books over the years, and we have connected over Hallmark movies as well. So when this book popped up, I knew I wanted to read it, and I have to say that I believe it is her best work yet! I know that may sound trite, but I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t believe it was true.

First of all, this has everything I have grown to love from Rachel’s books–romance, Christian principles, people falling in love with each other and God. But this book takes it to the next level. Indeed, Rachel has outdone herself in this tale!

This book has a theme that ties all the stories together, and I know that writing a book like this is not an easy task. When I began reading, I was a bit concerned that maybe Rachel wouldn’t be up to the task since I realized that this was such a massive undertaking. Well, thankfully, it wasn’t long before I saw the way in which the stories were woven together. While this may be a Christian book, her characters deal with real-life situations. Basically, nothing is off the table, and I couldn’t be happier. The mystery and intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat at times. There is no doubt in my mind that Rachel could tackle any genre and write with depth and richness that is not often found in the Christian fiction world today. I heartily recommend this book to everyone!
