Blush by Jamie Brenner

 Book Excerpt:

"From acclaimed author Jamie Brenner comes a stunning new novel about three generations of women who discover that the scandalous books of their past may just be the key to saving their family's future. 

For decades, the Hollander Estates winery has been the premier destination for lavish parties and romantic day trips on the North Fork of Long Island. But behind the lush vineyards and majestic estate house, the Hollander family fortunes have suffered, and the threat of a sale brings old wounds to the surface. For matriarch Vivian, she fears that this summer season could be their last—and that selling their winery to strangers could expose a dark secret she's harbored for decades. Meanwhile, her daughter, Leah, who was turned away from the business years ago, finds her marriage at a crossroads and returns home for a sorely needed escape. And granddaughter Sadie, grappling with a crisis of her own, runs to the vineyard looking for inspiration. 
 
But when Sadie uncovers journals from Vivian's old book club dedicated to scandalous novels of decades past, she realizes that this might be the distraction they all need. Reviving the "trashy" book club, the Hollander women find that the stories hold the key to their fight not only for the vineyard but for the life and love they've wanted all along. 
 
Blush is a bighearted story of love, family, and second chances, and an ode to the blockbuster novels that have shaped generations of women."

Review:
"Blush" by Jamie Brenner

My Opinion:

'Blush' was a solid storyline read, especially if you like 'feminism, books, and wine.' The story was an excellent read of three generations of Hollander women from this Long Island vineyard drama. And let's not leave out interesting books[Lace, Chances, and Scruples] that they read together and later on to others that Leah had headed. How will this help Sadie with the thesis she was working on? What will happen when the Hollander's put their winery up for sale? Vivian, Leah, Sadie, and even Bridget, who got together to read a certain Scruples together...their little book club. How will this book club put a change on everything? How will this impact what allis going on with the sale of the winery? What will happen when a certain baron comes to purchase their property. What is the secret that Vivian held for her husband for thirty-five years? To get all these questions answered and so much more, you will have to pick up 'Blush' to see how it all comes out at the Hollander Estates. Be ready for an excellent read that will involve family, drama, Intrigue, and romance.
