The Summer Book Club

By: Susan Mallery

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

"A charming, feel-good story of the ways that devoted friends—and great books!—can change our lives with the summer vibes I’m needing right now! There’s a dose of Susan Mallery magic in all her novels; this one just might have an extra scoop!" – Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author

The rules of summer book club are simple:

• No sad books
• No pressure
• Yessssss, wine!

Besties Laurel and Paris are excited to welcome Cassie to the group. This year, the book club is all about fill-your-heart reads, an escape from the chaos of the everyday—running a business, raising a family, juggling a hundred to-dos. Even the dog is demanding (but the bestest boy).

Since Laurel’s divorce, she feels like the Worst Mom Ever. Her skepticism of men may have scarred her vulnerable daughters. Cassie has an unfortunate habit of falling for ridiculous man-boys who dump her once she fixes them. Paris knows good men exist. She’s still reeling after chasing off the only one brave enough—and foolish enough—to marry her.

Inspired by the heroines who risk everything for fulfillment, Laurel, Paris and Cassie begin to take chances—big chances—in life, in love. Facing an unwritten chapter can be terrifying. But it can be exhilarating, too, if only they can find the courage to change.

“Susan Mallery is a maven of heartwarming summer reads! The Summer Book Club is a page-turner about the best things in life: books, friendship, love, and finding the courage to live our best lives.” – Katherine Center, New York Times bestselling author

A wonderful Book!

Loved the characters, the story, the setting, and everything about this book! It is one of my all time favorites!

Feel good fiction

I enjoyed the story line and the characters realization of how Cassie needed to stand up for herself. Too much lovey stuff at end with characters.

The Summer Book Club

I love how all the characters interacted and grew with each other. I like a happily ever after endings and second chances.

A man saves the day

It was a cheesy book about 3 women who feel very unworthy, only to be saved by a wonderful man.

Good romance stories

The story lines were good, but by the time I was half way thru the book, I was getting irritated with the self doubt each woman had. They were annoying. But other than that, there were more than a few chuckles from the banter between the couples. I'm not sorry I "read" this book.
