KIRIN, "The Doctor’s Wife"
Age: 31

Reason for attending TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB: Kirin is the perfect housewife who, at first glance, has everything a girl could want, but upon further review, is desperate to break out of her day-to-day routine. Putting her family first for the better part of her 20s, Kirin is ready to "find herself” in her 30s. As she and her husband approach their 10 year anniversary, Kirin is eager to reinvigorate their marriage and spend more time focusing on their relationship.

LYNN, "The Newlywed"
Age: 28

Whether it’s over money or Eddie’s laziness, Lynn is growing tired of the bickering. She looks to her pals at her TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB for a little bit of peace and quiet and maybe some answers on how to make her marriage stronger.



TINA, "The Divorced Mom"
Age: 46
Profession: Owns and operates her own marketing business
Reason for attending TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB: Tina is a beautiful divorced mother of three who packs an iron fist in a silk glove. Tina’s no-nonsense approach to life has molded her into the self-assured, confident and competitive woman she is today. A former beauty queen and karate champion, Tina recently jumped back into the dating game, but she worries that she'll never find a man who will love her for her strengths and support her when she’s vulnerable. Tina’s assertiveness is never more apparent than when she’s hanging out with her girlfriends at her TUESDAY NIGHT BOOK CLUB, dishing out advice and telling it like it is. Tina secretly seeks their advice, but is very reluctant to ever display that desire. Tina seems to have it all…beauty, business and the brawn…but will she be able to juggle her family, work and the search for love?
