Five strangers are given the chance to rewrite their stories by
joining The Fifth Avenue Story Society. Lexa is an executive assistant
and wants a promotion to CEO. She knows that she can do the job but, her
boss, Zane believes she is just suited to her current role. Jett is a
literature professor and writer who is nursing a broken heart from the
death of his older brother and his divorce. He is writing a
dissertation on his idol, Gordon Phipps Roth. Jett has heard rumors that
GPR might be a fraud.
Chuck is an Uber
driver who wants a second chance with his two kids. Ed is an aging
widow who wants to write the love story of his marriage to Esmeralda.
Coral is the owner of a multi-million dollar cosmetics empire that was
started by her great grandmother. However, she is still recovering from
her broken engagement to a prince and she is on the verge of losing her
company.
When they assemble at the library, they
presume they are a victim of a practical joke. No one knows the purpose
of the invitation, the reason behind the society, and why they are
chosen. As the group meets every week, they find themselves a place to
belong but, still afraid to share their secrets.
This
is the second novel I have read by the author. I didn't enjoy the first
one so, I wasn't sure what to expect with this novel. The story started
strong and tapered off towards the middle. However, I am glad that I
stuck through the novel because I love seeing the true story of each
character unfold. I enjoyed seeing that each character was able to find
themselves and find each other. I wish there were more details given
about the secret society and why each person was picked.

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 reveal 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.
