Grab a custom cocktail from Sullivan’s or settle under a shady tree with some sweet tea, because it’s that time again! The Netflix Book Club Pick of the Month is back, and we’d love for you to join us as we read Feels Like Family by Sherryl Woods, the third book in the beloved Sweet Magnolias series.

Sweet Magnolias Featurette

The lives of Maddie Townsend, Dana Sue Sullivan and Helen Decatur — aka the “sweet magnolias” — are at the center of the series, which follows the trio of best friends as they navigate love, life and family in their quaint hometown of Serenity, South Carolina. For this third installment, Helen, a divorce attorney who’s also the most driven and level-headed member of the group, is given her turn in the spotlight. At 42, Helen is single and ready to start a family of her own, but years spent settling divorces have made her a bit skeptical about finding love. But when widowed chef Erik wanders into her life, will Helen take it as a sign that it’s time to let love lead the way?

Pick up your copy of Sweet Magnolias: Feels Like Family so you can read, watch and discuss with our Netflix Book Club host Uzo Aduba. And if you find you need more of the Sweet Magnolias in your life once you finish the book, be sure to check out the just-released trailer for Season 2 of the Netflix adaptation! Season 2 launches on Feb. 4, so you have plenty of time to get into the first season. See you at Sullivan’s!
