Description

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Clique series comes a novel about the importance of friendship, and, of course, the pleasure of a dirty book.M.J. Stark’s life is picture-perfect—she has her dream job as a magazine editor, a sexy doctor boyfriend, and a glamorous life in New York City. But behind her success, there is a debilitating sense of loneliness. So when her boss betrays her and her boyfriend offers her a completely new life in California, she trades her cashmere for caftans and gives it a try. Once there, M.J. is left to fend for herself in a small beach town, with only the company of her elderly neighbor, Gloria, and an ocean that won’t shut up. One afternoon, M.J. discovers that Gloria has suddenly moved to Paris with her friends to honor a fifty-year-old pact. And in lieu of a goodbye, she’s left a mysterious invitation to a secret club—one that only reads erotic books. Curious, M.J. accepts and meets the three other hand-selected club members. As they bond over naughty bestsellers and the shocking letters they inherited from the original club members, the four strangers start to divulge the intimate details of their own lives… and as they open up, they learn that friendship might just be the key to rewriting their own stories: all they needed was to find each other first.

Notes

Description
In the early 1960s, a group of young women form a clandestine book club as a way of supporting one another and to provide an escape from the men in their lives. When the time comes to pass on their secrets to a new generation of women, they pick an unlikely group, who are virtual strangers, including M.J., recently relocated from New York City to the small California town where the book club meets; Britt, a local real estate agent with a slacker husband; Jules, a party planner who is estranged from her high school sweetheart husband; and Addie, a free spirit with no intention of settling down. Against all odds, the group meets according to the terms set up by the original members, but as the new gals struggle to form a similar bond, the future of the club is put in jeopardy.
