Summer Club was a very slow burn.

It was about a posh, you guessed it, summer club in a posh neighbourhood frequented by posh people. Unfortunately, the mundane details of everyday management of a summer club lasted for too long. The real action didn't' really hook me until about the last quarter of the book.

Thank you to #NetGalley and to the publisher, #OutskirtsPress for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

A fun, light, airy summer read.
The exact type of novel that I enjoy reading whilst sitting outside in the warm sun with a cold drink in my hand.

I'm giving this one 4.5 Stars.

For me, this was a book of two halves. It follows Lydia Phillips running her local swimming/tennis Summer Club, and follows the trials and tribulations of doing that, I love the character of her dog Stacie, she pops into the club often, with hilarious consequences! The evening of the Lobster Boil was also highly amusing, with a few “laugh out loud” moments.
There is mystery and intrigue running throughout with a murder, discovery of cash at the club, and a dark blue sedan following club members.
The first half of the book is a little slow for me, but got so much better, the final few chapters explain all the shenanigans well, and I was left feeling this would book would make a good movie.

A fun summer read really depicting the entitlement of a neighborhood swim and tennis club and the seedy underbelly of the privileged including murder.

I feel like the story itself isn’t fully developed and the characters suffer for it. I couldn’t find my footing to get deep into this read. I don’t want to discourage anyone else as I can see the qualities others might find enjoyable.

I really liked this book! Great story....however, I felt the only full, rich characters were Lydia and Stacie. The rest came across as one dimensional, black and white stereo types. Still, a great pool or beach read. One of the best cozy who-done-its I’ve read in quite while.

Very good read that I enjoyed very much. Will look for more books from this author. at my library and suggest that this book be included in our collection of fiction books.

This is the cutest book. It’s part love letter to summer and part a story about a woman and a summer club. Summer is my favorite season so I was all in. I highly recommend this book I think a lot of readers would like it.
