The rules of summer book club are simple:
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.

Review by Barbara W, Page 158 Books, 415 Brooks St, Wake Forest NC 27587
Meet Laurel and Paris, two long-time friends, and members of their own Summer Book Club. Cassie is new in town. She is there only to check on an inheritance left to her by her uncle; then she's leaving. Laurel and Paris welcome Cassie, and she joins in the Summer Book Club. They each have past romance issues but now find themselves involved in new relationships. Does the Book Club center around books or their own stories? You will enjoy the friendships between the three and finding out how they each deal with their current love interests. Another great Susan Mallery read.
