Book Review: The Monday Night Heartbreak Club by Jane Lovering

I always snap up Jane Lovering's books when I see them on Netgalley. I've read nearly all the books she's written and this one is my second favourite (the favourite is always The Boys of Christmas).Fee is failing at pretty much every metric. She ends up drunk, dumped and very unhappy in the bar across the street from where she lives, where she stumbles upon the Monday Night Heartbreak Club.

I used my Pilot Custom Heritage 912 in FA nib to write out the review and Sailor Manyo Fuji Ink. Sadly it feathered a bit at places 🥺

What secrets await at Crestwell Hall?

The story of Guy Fawkes and Robert Catesby is famous but what if there’s another tale? One told by the women. One that has finally been revealed. What if the wives are ready to have their say?

Think you know the Gunpowder Plot? Think again.
