The Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cook

Noreen (I'd rather be called "Nora") takes a buyout and loses her boyfriend in the same day. After years of working, she isn't sure what to do with the rest of her life or even the next day. So she puts on her tennis shoes and starts walking. She's soon joined by her neighbors, Tess and Rosie. As they walk together, they become friends.

It seems a simple enough plot but I enjoyed reading about women who are roughly my age, with problems and pasts that I could relate to. As they walk, the three women deal with job issues, children issues, and family issues. It was light, fun reading and my time with the Wildwater Walking Club zipped by. I almost started walking myself!
