Last night my book club met for the first time since February. We all finished the book back in March, but life got in the way of the three of us getting together. Between the three of us there were two international trips and one trip to Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. We had a lot to catch up on.

Our thoughts on the book, Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal, were positive. We all enjoyed the book, but also found it slightly discombobulating. You would be reading a dramatic story about a woman teaching in an immigrant community in the UK and then BAM! an erotic blurb was thrown in.

At the end of the night, the book doesn’t really matter. What really matters is having a dedicated evening to catch up with friends. They are amazing listeners. They give me good advice. I always leave book club with my spirit elevated, and not just because of the book inspired signature drink.
