Both book club reads were worth reading this month, but I did enjoy one over the other. Our in-person group read the Secret Life of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar
and our online group read The Homecoming of Samuel Lake by Jenny Wingfield,
which was my favorite of the two. Sunflowers came in with an overall rating of 3.25 (everyone gave it a 3, except one reader who gave it a 4.5). Homecoming got an overall 4 rating with the lowest a 3.5 and the highest a 4.5.
The Secret Life of Sunflowers had two storylines, like so many books these days—one in the present, and one in the past. I did not enjoy the more current story line, but some did.
