The High Tide Club is a story by Mary Kay Andrews. Ms Andrews has created characters the reader immediately becomes immersed in, feeling they are friends. The tale is so engrossing the pages fly by making it a fast read. Twists and turns gives the reader surprises. I was given an early copy to review.

The High Tide Club is full of secrets and twists as well as fun. I enjoyed reading Josephine's story through her closest friends and being able to see their families come to know each other and piece together the story of their loved ones. This was a great read!

This book was a lot of fun. It was full of twist and turns. Some of them I saw coming but most I did not. I love when a book can surprise me. The characters in this book were rich and colorful. I can honestly say that I enjoyed bits and pieces of all of them. It was fun to watch the next generation of the High Tide Club come together. Some unexpected friendships were formed but I find sometimes those make the best friendships.

I enjoyed reading the back and forth of time. Seeing Ruth, Josephine, and Millie as teenagers and how close they were was a very important part of this story. I loved Brooke and her mom, Marie. Farrah was a delight. Felicia and Varina have such a special bond. There are so many wonderful things about this book. I highly recommend it!!!

I received an ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press.

I look so forward to the new Mary Kay Andrews book each summer, and this was not a disappointment.

The book wove a story back and forth between the 1940s and modern day, and presented diverse characters that were more than just archetypes.

I really enjoyed the main character, an elderly, wealthy island owner was such a well drawn character. Her choices were unexpected, but created a character that was fully fleshed out.

The book mostly follows single mother and lawyer Brooke Trappnell in her quest to find the heirs and make amends for Georgia Island owner and heiress Josephine Warrick. While seeming a simple plot, the book instantly drew me in with a decades old mystery and lush descriptions of the island and its inhabitants.

While I have enjoyed a few of Ms. Andrews books better, this one certainly is a perfect summer read.

Mary Key Andrews is a superb story teller.
She has written a story which starts in 1941 and last to present day, and during the whole book she goes back and forth descibing the friendship between four girls in the South. It is a story of heartbreak, hate, redemption, forgivness, missed chances, happiness but above all else it is about love.
Even though it is not a mystery or a suspense novel it is full of twists and turns and moments so intense you can't wait to see what is going to happen. The more I read the more captivated I became, I literally couldn't put the book down.
She has portrayed characters so well you have a feeling that you know them. I could imagine the heat of summer in the South, I could smell the salt in the air and hear the waves crashing.
This book teaches us an important lesson about how we should treat the people we love and lenghts we will go to to protect the ones we love.
For all who enjoy beautiful stories about that will make you laugh and cry this is the perfect choice.

Old secrets and lasting friendships collide in this wonderful novel. And what could be better than an island backdrop.

This might be my favorite Mary Kay Andrews and I've read all of her books. Other than a few instances of black characters as the help and very minor characters, her books are typically very white. I was happy to see the character of Varina, but was initially hesitant because I wasn't sure if she'd be relegated to a secondary character. And though she wasn't, I was still wary because I thought she was going to be a go along to get along character. She was a bit, but her role of complacency was countered by her neice.

I loved the story line, present day and the flashbacks. I figured out early on the big mystery, but was still shocked by other turns of event. I adored the new friendships made, but there were still a few loose ends that weren't tied up as it related to the original friends and why they lost contact. I'm not sure if that was an oversight or if Andrews decided it wasn't important to the overall story line.

This was a good book but not as good as her previous books. The characters didn't feel real. I felt it was a different author. Just not my favorite book by this author.

I really enjoyed this new read by MKA; a little different from most of her books. Great description of the island and life there, interesting characters with good story lines, a few twists that keep you guessing. Will make a great beach read this summer.

I love all that Mary Kay Andrews writes, and this book was no exception. She really makes you feel like you’re in Georgia, you can relate to her characters, and you are immediately right there in the story. I would definitely recommend this book. My only quibble is the ending with Brooke and Pete felt rushed, would have liked a little more about that. Other than that, a great story!

I really tried, but the dialect drove me nuts. Improper ways of speaking just make me want to scream,.

Sure, this takes place in GA, so references to southern living are fine, but it seemed to denigrate the descendants of former slaves in a way that I didn't like so I refused to continue reading.

Another great book from Mary Kay Andrews. A mystery involving the low country, strong female characters and a look into Southern history. Great read!

History can have an effect on the present, and in this story of the High Tide Club, we learn that very well. Josephine wants to make amends, but her time is running out. She reaches out to Brooke, who is closer to this amazing story than she might have imagined. The book takes us back and forth from the past to the present, as we learn about the secrets kept and the impact they had on four young girls decades ago, and the current impact on those they loved. A little mystery, some humor, and just a bit of drama and romance keep you moving through this wonderfully written tale of love and friendship.

I received an advance copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've long been a fan of Mary Kay Andrews. I love her light, fun books that are easy reads, with stories that make you laugh.

This one is different. This one is a little deeper, a little more mature - and a little darker.

If you enjoyed The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, this book is for you.

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the narrative that switched from the 1940s to present day. While parts of the story were predictable, it was overall a pleasant read, and I'm very happy to have had the chance to read this before publication. Thank you Netgalley.

Very entertaining story of female relationships and their coming of age difficulties. The book grabs you immediately and doesn't let go until the very end, "Totally enjoyable.

This is the first book I have read by this author. Being from the south myself, I enjoyed reading about the area. The story plot was ok but I just didn't get a great feel for any of the characters. Most were greedy, selfish and really unlikeable. I will definitely try another one of Andrews books because I really like her beach-themed style stories. This one is probably a good summer read, just don't expect to come away with any warm fuzzies.

Mary Kay Andrews does it again with The High Tide Club. The twists continue and although some I could foresee, she continued to hold you until the final page.

I received an advanced copy from St. Martin's Press via Net-galley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!

I love MKA and the stories she weaves. This book has a little bit of everything from a dash of suspense to humor. Josephine is in her 90's. She summons Brooke, a lawyer who is also a single mom to Talisa Island. Josephine wants to leave her fortune to her the women she was friends with during the 1940's. The story is told from the past to present, back and forth. MKA never disappoints! I enjoyed this book immensely. A great beach read!

This starts as the expected story of women's friendship and turns into something else. Yes it is the story of strong women making mistakes, making friends, trying to figure out love and life and then it adds something else. I thought i had it figured it out and then it turned into a story of murder and family secrets. An enjoyable story that is perfect for the beach or a lazy weekend.
