The Dubrovnik Book Club

Simeon the owner of a tiny bookstore in Croatia hires Claire She is just getting over long Covid, but she is scared to be back out in the world and the possibility of getting it again.

She is working with Luna who is gay and afraid to come out because her parents are very religious. They decide to start a book club and also solve the mystery of Vedran (Claire's cousin) who was assused of killing his wife.

It was a terrific story, full of interesting characters. They all struggled in different ways, but they grew so much throughout the book and you really rooted for them.

It covered everything from friendship to domestic violence but I doubt any of it is done with such a heavy hand that it would trigger someone. This was one of the best books I've read this year and I'm so glad I took a chance on it.
