Risk of crying: 0/5
Synopsis: The Club is exclusive. Exclusive even by exclusivity’s standards. Some celebrities can’t even join; not without vetting and approval. There are a series of private, incredible homes available around the world for those in The Club and their use is an exclusive bonus of membership, allow the well-to-do to party hard away from risks of the press. The newest resort is opening and Island Home is throwing a 3-day launch party to celebrate. The limited guest list, increased pressure, and high stakes all come together at a head and the weekend absolutely does not go to plan.
Review: Phew. This was a tough one. I found it incredibly hard to read and was really bored. I have no idea why! This seems like the perfect recipe - exclusive guest list, celebrities, staff with secrets, secluded on an island, with mysteries and terrible outcomes for some members. However, I didn’t like any of the characters and it lost my interest often. I couldn’t wait for it to end.
It’s not the first Reeses Book Club book I didn’t like and I’m sure it won’t be the last but I’m disappointed about this one.

2.5 rounded up. Almost DNF, the first half was very slow with too many characters to keep up with. Glad I stuck with it and I enjoyed the last 25%
I thought this book was interesting. The characters aren't super likeable, but you end up liking some of them at the end. Everyone has their own agenda for sure.
Way too many characters & rotating POV. Hard to follow & keep me interested!

Not sure why this got some poor reviews. It was a fun mystery with eclectic characters. Way superior to some of the lauded mystery schlock bouncing around. Some of the twists were predictable but they were still satisfying when they happened. I feel like the word home was repeated way too many times though, club names combined with simply going/being home.

2.5ish? I didn’t love it. It took me quite a while to read. The last 50 pages or so were more interesting.
