The Club

Ellery Lloyd

3.23 AVERAGE


A twisty thriller located at a prestigious club for only the richest and most exclusive guests. I couldn't put the book down once I started (seriously I finished it in a day). The multiple POVs kept me interested. The epilogue was wonderful. 3.5/5 stars for me.

I was really disappointed in this book, and surprised that Reese had it on her Book Club listing. There were so many characters that intertwined into each other's lives it was hard to keep up on who is who and who relates to who and how. My brain was working too hard on remembering characters to thoroughly enjoy the rest of it. I think that the plot was faulty and didn't really come together like I thought it would. Even with the epilogue I wasn't thrilled.

Wow I actually really enjoyed this! Though it is marketed as a thriller, I feel like it isn't very scary, and there really isn't too much of a mystery element since you follow the characters and their actions as the story progresses. This felt like a more intense, violent, and interesting version of Taylor Jenkin Reid's Malibu Rising.

A good story, but with too many perspectives and too little character development. Taylor Jenkins Reid-esque, but more difficult to read.

Similar concept to The Guest List. Never felt a ton of suspense or surprise by what was happening. A nice light read if you're looking for something easy!

The vibes of this book were like the movie glass onion, and I wish I just watched that instead. Very boring and I didn’t care about any of the characters.
