Book Review - The Authenticity Project

https://amzn.to/2S0pCPx


A small notebook left on a table in a café finds it’s way into the hands of Monica, the Café Owner. The small book has three words inscribed onto the cover “The Authenticity Project”. Julian, a renowned artist, now in his eighties has left the book behind, with his story beautifully written on the beginning pages, leaving the rest blank. One night Monica writes her own story in the book and leaves it on a table in a bar. Monica then vows to help a lonely Julian by advertising for an art teacher for the café. The book now in the hands of Hazard, travels the globe only to return to England in the hands of yet another person.  As the story unfolds, the book and the characters lives become intertwined as the book keeps traveling throughout the story. 

I absolutely loved this book. I loved the characters and how they told their stories in the book and also how they helped each other by knowing each others’ stories. It really made me realize that being your authentic self is what is lacking in todays society and how we can grow and learn through others lives and experiences. I couldn’t put the book down, wanting to know where and who it would go to next. Clare Pooley wrote a brilliant novel and to know that a part of her was in the story made you love it even more. Thank you so much to Clare Pooley, Penguin Random House Canada and NetGalley for an advanced copy to read and review.
