About this listen

"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 author

The 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 author

Narration needs work

I am not usually picky regarding narration. Some narrators are better than others, of course, but I really had issues throughout this book because of the narration. The narrator has a mechanical sort of voice and although she attempts different voices for different characters, they're fairly difficult to distinguish. I also didn't get the impression that she knew the material very well because it seemed she didn't know what tone to use until she finished a sentence. The story was OK. It was a little predictable and some of the characters were far fetched, but I'm not faulting it too much for that.

The Summer Book Club

I love how all the characters interacted and grew with each other. I like a happily ever after endings and second chances.

A man saves the day

It was a cheesy book about 3 women who feel very unworthy, only to be saved by a wonderful man.

Good romance stories

The story lines were good, but by the time I was half way thru the book, I was getting irritated with the self doubt each woman had. They were annoying. But other than that, there were more than a few chuckles from the banter between the couples. I'm not sorry I "read" this book.

Pathetic Women

The narrator was poor - very robotic and when speaking for the women, sounded much like a robot speaking than a conversation. The women in this book were ridiculously sad and pathetic. I gave up on the book 1/2 way through Chapter 22. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

Really poor narration

The story had no surprises but I did listen to the whole thing. The narrative voices were off. The 8 year old sounded 5 and the 23 year old sounded 10. Really there were no adult voices or actions. Was this a YA book?

Great Story!

I enjoyed listening to this story about three different women who find friendship and family with each other. These women also find love and happiness. At first I thought I would not enjoy this story because of the narrator. I glad she proved me wrong because I was quickly caught up in the story and her way of expressing all the emotions of the characters. I recommend this story. I look forward to listening to more stories from this author and this narrator.

Nice story but very predictable

Story was not exciting and became a little boring. Nice story and the content was good.
