The Friday Night Knitting Club is a story of friendship between some very different women who happen to visit the same yarn store in Manhattan’s upper west side. Unlikely friendships are formed in the club and the women support each other more than they expect. This book is more than just a collection of women with a single interest. It is a potpourri of cultures and relationship issues.
Though I enjoyed the book, I personally thought that it had so much more potential. Kate brings up so many cultural and relationship issues but lets them all fizzle out without giving it any definite shape. It was definitely a light and easy book to read and some unexpected turns do bring tears to your eyes but I kept feeling that she could have done so much more with the book!

This type of story, about friendship among girlfriends, isn't really my cup of tea. I just can't resist it because it's related to knitting. The story in general wasn't bad and I did quite enjoy it. I am not sure how to take the ending though. It's sad ... but in a way, it portrays the friendship among the women, how they supported Georgia while she was going through her illness and she was remembered when she had passed away.
