Five college friends, three men and two women, have been
getting together every Thursday night to share humble meals and an
abundance of laughter. But when tragedy takes one of them, leaving the others
to question the fairness of life, theThursday Night Club decides to embark
on a contest in the memory of the generous spirit of their fallen brother. The
objective of the contest is simple: whoever performs the kindest deed by
Christmas night wins the pot – four quarters. And there are only two
conditions: the benevolent deed must be anonymous, and it cannot cost a single
penny to pull off.
As the four friends undertake the contest, the healing begins and they become inspired beyond their expectations. There might be a winner in this competition, but it is very clear there will be no losers.

My Thoughts…
Steven Manchester is an author that every time I pick up one
of his books I am sure that I will find a touching and loving story. The Thursday Night Club is exactly that. It is a great story of amazing friends that
when faced with the loss of a friend steps up and make changes in their
lives. I cannot choose my favorite
character as each was unique in their own way. Each character had their own history and
still manages to make it to college and succeed.
As each character makes their choices, or in most cases the
choices chose them, on how to keep their friends spirit alive I could feel them
come to terms with themselves and realize that there is more to life than
having fun. That by giving and helping
others they can actually make themselves happier and make such a huge
difference in stranger’s lives. They
even realized that, although it is a competition, being anonymous brings even
more happiness to them.
Once again, Steven Manchester captured my attention and left
me with a great feeling. I will happily
recommend this story.
