BOOK REVIEW: The Summer Book Club by Susan Maller

The Summer Book Club by Susan Mallery

Canary Street Press (February 13, 2024)

Friendship Fiction/Contemporary Romance/Small Town

“Mallery beautifully illustrates the power of female friendship and the importance of reaching for one’s dreams.”—Publishers Weekly

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.

REVIEW

Wonderful read of friendships, relationships, and overcoming obstacles to grow

I enjoyed this book with three main characters. Each woman has an obstacle to overcome to finally find happiness in their lives. Their friendship was genuine and supportive. I loved that the friends were very honest with each other. They offered their guidance and stated their opinions. They gave each other the nudge they needed. I liked all the characters, and they were so developed that I felt like I knew them.

I found this a comfort read and thoroughly enjoyed these women and their friendship.
