Description

"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 authorThe 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 authorDon’t miss Susan Mallery’s brand new novel, BEACH VIBES, a dazzling, clever and poignant story about the family we’re born into—and the one we create for ourselves, coming March 2025! Discover more by Susan Mallery:

Booklist Review

Laurel Richards is a mother of two girls and dealing with the fallout of her ex-husband abandoning them and clearing out their bank accounts. Even though she is back on her feet financially, her daughters are struggling. Her oldest, Jagger, hates men, and Laurel realizes they have no positive male influences in their lives. Paris, Laurel's best friend who is healing from her past anger issues, can't seem to forgive herself, especially when her ex-husband and his son show up in their small town of Los Lobos. Meanwhile, across the country in Maine, Cassie seems to live for everyone else and has nothing to show for it. After a push from her siblings, she leaves the only life she's ever known to go see her inheritance in Los Lobos. What Cassie believes will be a short visit turns into her building a life all her own. These three women and their friendship feel genuine, and readers will be able to relate. Fans of Jill Shalvis and Robyn Carr won't be able to put Mallery's latest (after The Happiness Plan, 2023) down. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Readers who flock to Mallery's heartfelt stories will be clamoring for her feel-good latest.
