Athena is a self-proclaimed bachelorette at the top of her game. Her company is thriving and her relationship is perfectly static. However, when her boyfriend Karl decides he wants to move to the next level, her reluctance pushes Karl away and he calls her out on being a workaholic. To prove him wrong, Athena joins a book club after going into a used bookstore and meeting Grey, the proprietor.
Just when Athena gets her world under semi-control again, a family tragedy throws her back onto the floor and she is left to care for her terminally ill father. With the help of Grey and the ladies at the bookclub, Athena learns how to stand again, but this time with a new perspective on the relationship her parent's had and the future she wants for herself.
ATHENA is a beautifully written and emotionally touching story that had me giggling and crying. This book is the only of the four in the Newport Ladies Book Club series that has a romantic ending, but that didn't take away from the reality of the story and the feeling. Heather B. Moore artfully uses true emotion to reach down inside her readers and leave them always wanting more. This book was a fantastic read for anyone that has ever been - or wanted to be - in love as well as for anyone who has experienced a hardship.
Learning to take a new perspective is never easy, and ATHENA shows that first hand with incredible story-telling and an accessibility to the characters that is fresh and readers will love.
