  WELCOME TO OUR BOOK CLUB!
One of the great things about reading is that you can do it whenever you get the opportunity.
Picking up a book while your little one is having an afternoon nap will not only help you relax and unwind but, unlike other things you may be tempted to do - like the vacuuming! - it won’t wake them up.
You can also fit it in around the busy lives you and your family lead. Joining a book club is a great excuse to get out of the house for an evening every few months - but not everyone has the freedom, or energy, to do this. Which is where the Looking Good Feeling Great book club comes in.
Each month we will recommend a book for you to read. We’ll then invite you to leave your feedback on the Book Club board - what you thought of it, any things you particularly loved or hated about it etc. There you will be able to discuss it with other people - and leave your suggestions for future reads.
And don’t worry if it takes you longer to finish a book than that - we’ll keep it up on the site so you can join in as and when you’re ready.
This month’s selection
Title: Body Surfing
Author: Anita Shreeve
Publisher: Little Brown
Buy it here!
Why we chose this book:
Anita Shreeve is one of the most successful and respected female writers around. Titles like Eden Close, The Weight Of Water and The Pilot’s Wife have won the writer from New Hampshire a huge army of devoted fans. She specialises in vivid and beautful descriptions of the landscapes her characers find themselves in and creates believable but flawed heroines you want to get to know more.
Body Surfing tells the story of young widow Sydney, who is spending the summer teaching a teenage girl with learning difficulties, while trying to decide what to do with her life.
Living with her student’s family in a beautiful house on the beach in New Hampshire, Sydney finds herself caught up in a power struggle between her charge’s two handsome brothers.
