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.

Just wanted to put out a PSA in case any of you are considering a subscription service to join. Literati has changed how they do things without announcing it, then lied about it and gaslit me when I inquired about what was happening. They‘ve significantly limited how many additional books you can buy along with your month‘s book by only making some books available for purchase and doing so around 5 days after the books are announced for that 👇🏼

Hooked_on_books month, whereas you could previously buy at the same time you chose your monthly book. Last month, 10 of the 12 books were eventually available for purchase, but this month only 3 are. That really changes things for me, and they won‘t let me cancel because I have an annual membership. I still appreciate that they have a lot of NF choices, but this is not cool and I wanted Littens to know about it. 1y
Librariana That's just messy. I call shenanigans! I'm sorry this is happening to you! Does your membership come up for automatic renewal? Or are you able to cancel at the one year mark? 1y
Hooked_on_books @Librariana I won‘t automatically renew, but I just renewed in August, so it‘s a long way away. If they had changed things and been transparent about it, I would have been disappointed but understood. This is just so underhanded. Not cool. 1y

4⭐️

Honestly best $5 I‘ve spent in a long time.

Really fun book where a group of women spent their lives reading whatever they want in their book club. They used it explore themselves, their sexuality, and life as a whole. Now that they‘re all retired, they pasted the book club on to the next general and it couldn‘t have been a more chaotic transition!

I had a hard time choosing this month, so I may have to pick up The Night Swim and The Death of Vivek Oji next month. I already had The Vanishing Half in my cart before the August books were released because I loved Bennett‘s The Mothers. #botm

Oh my! This book was just so fantastic! Though the book revolves around a secret book club that reads provocative romance books, the book is mainly about friendship. It was exactly the type of book I needed to read.

This was a quick read, light and full of heart. The premise of this book centers around female friendships and learning to be honest with yourself and your friends. Through the books they read (or don‘t read) these women discover themselves and the meaning of true friendship. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

First book finished for the #deweyoct #readathon. ❤️📚

Yay Readathon Day!! I‘ve got my coffee, my water, my current read, and am snuggled in my favorite blanket.

Soccer and Homecoming for my kids today, so I‘ll have to cut into my reading time for those events. But I‘m still so excited to be able to dedicate the rest of my day to this!

Taking a turn from thrillers to read something lighter that focuses on female friendships. I love my book club girls - going strong in our book club since 1997, but best of friends for even longer. They fuel my soul.❤️📚

OMG @HufflepuffGirl90 - what a great and chocolatey #BBSredacted swap!! All of these books have been on my TBR forever and I‘ve never been able to find the tagged book locally. I‘m super excited to read them all! You picked such yummy dark chocolate choices and the socks are so fuzzy and soft! Thank you so much!! 😊❤️

mcipher @Jilly6183 @HufflepuffGirl90 And I opened and posted and realized I‘m a day ahead. 🤦‍♀️ I was so sure today was the 15th and wondering why I didn‘t see anyone else‘s boxes opened! I‘m so sorry you guys... 😬 5y

A beautiful love story, but not your typical romantic love story... instead it is a love story of friends. I have a wonderful group of friends who are my family and I love them very much...

I loved the idea of a secret book club reading salacious material, but it didn‘t quite live up to my expectations. I still enjoyed it but had built it up in my own mind to promise more. MJ annoyed me with her indecisiveness, and the others were also setting my teeth on edge at moments. All in all I did like it though.

Reecaspieces This is a cute read. I loved it 5y

I loved Harrison‘s Clique series when I was a teenager so I was glad to see that she‘s writing for adults now! This book was funny and charming. MJ, an adult orphan solely focused on her job, moves to a coastal California town and gets invited to join a book club for soft erotica. Super cute and funny!

This book never really came together for me, the character development seem fractured at best. I read this over a busy week in my life so that may account for some of that however if it was a fabulous book, I would have been drawn in no matter what. There were parts that I felt I was just skimming and other parts where I was like, "okay I really am enjoying this book now" and then the book would lose me again. More in comments ... #13Books13Weeks

TheHeartlandBookFairy this was a birthday book from a fellow book club member so for those reasons alone I will treasure it. I really would have enjoyed the story more I believe, if it were about the original four DBC members lol 6y

This has negative Litsy reviews, which is a bummer since I enjoyed the first 3 chapters. But, I do not care what others think. Life is too short to read serious books all the time.

There were some bits and pieces that were good, but they were buried under a pile of garbage. The writing was ridiculous - see my previous post for examples. I expected the book to be more about the older generation of ladies who started the book club, but it's all about the younger ones, who I felt were crass and shallow and I couldn't relate to them.

tokyoseg So this book is not the one the movie book club is based on right? 6y
Amie @tokyoseg I don't think it is. Seems like a different plot, although I guess I don't know much about the movie. 6y

MJ finds herself in the sleepy town of Pearl Beach with no idea what happens next... but then she meets Gloria, her elderly neighbour who is about to change her life.

The Dirty Book Club is where life long friendships are made & it's time for the next generation to come together.

This book had me wishing I had a Gloria - an unlikely character who becomes a friendship fairy godmother, connecting MJ with the women she never knew she needed.

I don't know about this one... I loved the concept: two different generations of women brought together and strengthened by an "illicit" book club (and the beginning chapters were delightful) but it just...I don't know. I think it was the execution? Everything felt very rushed. The dialogue was funny but I don't think I connected as deeply with the women as I wanted to.

TheBookHippie I bailed 🤦🏽‍♀️ my friend is trying it now! 6y

I‘ve decided to DNF this book. The writing isn‘t bad, but it‘s not a romance and, well, life is short. This might appeal to readers who like women‘s fiction that focuses on female friendships.

Well, this book is exactly what it says. It is about a secret book club. This book club is unique in that it only reads dirty books and it is as funny as it sounds. The club also comes complete with a secret key, secret rituals and anonymity.
