3or 4 stars. It was a good read -- the author did an excellent job of setting up the background and giving you the feelings of these women. I felt like I could really identify. Also, I loved how these characters helped each other. I felt like I'd like to know them.

Great book! A story about 4 women at different points in their lives, but who found a common bond with each other. Each one's story was interesting and believeable. Debbie Macomber was able to keep the story lines interesting, yet simple to read. Some authors would have really over written this type of story. Very good, hated to see it end!

A great Debbie Macomber book where four interesting women meet on Thursdays at eight and share their lives. As she weaves the story, I found that I, too, was like a member of the "group" and laughed with them and shed a tear, too.

At first I thought it was a slow start, as this story is about four very different women who have become friends, and they are first introduced to the reader through their daily journal writing. Then it developed into a regular writing style with dialog and became quite good. I enjoyed this book very much and anxiously awaited the outcome of each of their stories. Very moving.

While I thought this was a good story, it didn't really drag me in. It is good, I liked the characters, but I guess it was her style of writing. I expected more.
4 women meet at a journal writing class and decide to continue getting together after. The only time they can all get together is for breakfast on Thursdays. They each write their chapter, their story, and they intertwine. Again, I did like it, just didn't LOVE it.

Macomber doesn't disappoint.I like her books because they include all ages and how they interact with each other.I think I've read everything she's written except for the knitting books...I don't knit..LOL
A wonderful book about 4 friends who are there for each other no matter what.
I loved this book. I read it in one day. It's a beautiful story of friendship. I felt like I was really getting to know these four women and didn't want the book to end.
This was my first book by Debbie Macomber and I loved it and will be reading more. I love stories that are intertwined between the characters telling us readers a little bit of history behind each main character. All the four women were interesting as were their stories. I would totally recommend this book.
Four women ranging in age from 20's to 50's, meet each Thursday at 8 am for breakfast, support and friendship.
From back: Every Thursday at eight, four womaen meet for breakfast-and to talk. To tell their stories, recount their sorrows and their joys. to offer each other encouragement and unstinting support.

Thursday 8:00 a.m. Mocha Moments Cafe Breakfast Club These words appear in the calandars of four women. Four very differnt women. Every week they meet for breakfast-and to talk to share the truths they've discovered about thier lives. To tell their stories, recount their sorrows and their joys. To offer each other encourgement and unstinting support.
Charming story about four friends who meet weekly to talk & support each other.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was one of the most interesting I have read in a long time.
Wonderful book about women who get together to give each other support and encouragement. Each woman has her own trials, and deals with anger, hurt, abandonment and forgiveness. Every woman who reads this book can most likely identify with one or more of the characters. In the end each woman comes through their trials stronger and more caring. Is an excellent read.
I thoually enjoyed this book. I wished she would have wtitten a series of these like she did with Cedar Cove and Blosom St. If you have not read this then you should and you will hold it close in ypur heart.
This is a typical Debbie Macomber book - you're hooked from the first few pages. I enjoyed it and recommend it for others. Each of the characters is quite fully developed, to the point that I began to care for them. It's a good, quick read.
I enjoyed the book. It reminds you that no matter what you are going through in life there are always others who are going through much the same or more. It is always comforting to have others to talk to when you think you have lost all hope and faith in yourself and life.
A very easy and hard put down read. Women sharing their lives with each other and helping each other through. Each character you feel for their situation and share in their trials.
Like all of Debbie Macomber;s book, I really enjoyed this one too!
This book is great. It follows 4 women that meet for a weekly breakfast club. They gothrough a years challenges together and form a strong bond. What a fabulous book! This is the first book I have read by this author, I am anxious to find more! I spent the entire afternoon reading this book through it was so good, I couldn't put it down.
Wonderful, touching story! As only Deb Macomber can write.
Great book about 4 women that become friends even though they are very different.

This was the sweetest novel about 4 women who get together every Thurs. and share their lives over coffee and dessert. Among the 4 are a widow, a new 40ish divorcee, and a young mother. This book has such realistic dialogue that you think you are there, ease dropping from the next table. New love, forgiveness, acceptance of oneself, and true friendship are among the subjects that are discussed between them. As their lives unfold, you will be glad you made this book one of your own.

As usual this is Debbie Macomber at her best! Every Thursday, four women meet for breakfast--and to talk. to offer each other encouragement and support.
I had some trouble getting into the book, but then right in the middle i just couldn't put it down. Macomber creates such great characters and story lines!
A true story of the multi-faceted portrayal of friendship! Debbie Macomber has a gift for drawing emotion out of you while you get wrapped up in the lives of her richly drawn charachters.
Great book about friendships between women.
Four ladies meet every Thursday to discuss life's challenges and dilemmas. Claire, who is recently divorced, makes a startling discovery about her exhusband. Elizabeth, in her late fifties, is a widow who is ready to walk on the wild side. Twenty-something Karen is determined to be an actress, despite her parents objectons. And Julia and her husband are looking forward to having an empty nest...until Julia discovers she's pregnant.
A group of women meet to talk, tell their stories and support each other. They find out that people from diffenent backgrounds can bond.
Four women share their lives. They meet for breakfast every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. Each woman is unique with her own joys and sorrows. The author does an excellent job of weaving them all together as their deep friendship grows and they help and encourage each other through some very well challenges and life changes. I found each woman very interesting and I thoroughly enjoyed this read. It included some hard things and some life lessons and ended with all the women still friends and much richer for having shared and cared for each other through thick and thin. You need to read this one!
Didn't think I'd really like it and ended up loving it.
A truly wonderful read for every woman. This is the story of four women who meet for breakfast every Thursday at eight. They tell their stories, recount sorrows & joys. Four totally different women who offer support and encouragement to each other during the trials and tribulations as well as the triumphs of their lives.

I believe this is a part of a series. Debbie Macomber has never written a bad book!
