The Club

3.22 AVERAGE


The book follows an the lives of members at an exclusive club for celebrities, and their downfall.

This book had so much potential, and it was good, but it got hard to follow at times because of the different perspectives. The names got confusing and I forgot who was who and who did what. I do like the way it ended though!

This was a SLOW read. From cover to cover.
dark mysterious tense

Really Enjoyed

Fun summer book that I could easily see turning into a mini series. All the characters have different secrets and motivations and it was nice to see them in this surreal location.

I would definitely read other books from this author.


I’m right in the middle on this one. The overall plot was enjoyable and the twists were pleasantly surprising but the format was a bit rough and made it hard to track who is who at times.

The premise of this book was so good but unfortunately it started off really slow and really didn’t pick up until the back half (or more like the last quarter). There were a few twists that I didn’t see coming which kept it interesting but overall I had higher hopes for this one. I will say I think it has great potential to be adapted into a tv show or limited series a la Big Little Lies.
