Sometimes the best way to have a conversation is to broaden the conversation with unexpected book club books. That’s where indies come in! As with the vast majority of books that cover celebrities, the rich and famous, and how they spend their leisure time, this is trope and stereotype full, and doesn't really show any real evidence that the writer Ellery Lloyd is a pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. This book feels like an OK daytime TV movie with no real surprises but with interesting enough (stereotype) characters that make it worth watching/reading. 4 out of 12, Two Star read... time to walk... I have always been fascinated with the private club and magnet for the celebrity and creative elite, Soho House (even going so far as to try to scheme a way into joining until I learned of the exorbitant membership fee). Having attended Soho House functions as a guest, I always wondered when happened with the inner workings and admissions of such clubs, so this book was basically written for me.

E. L. James and her husband Niall Leonard make a cameo appearance as Carol and Bruce's neighbors. [4] Production [ edit ] This was quite an entertaining read for me. The characters were very interesting, their different motives were fascinating. The atmosphere and the setting both were superb. The pacing is the only downside of the story. I think the authors (Husband & Wife) did a pretty good job. The Club is a fictional story about a highly exclusive club which has a chain of sumptuous hotels across the world.

Because these indie authors aren’t usually inundated with Good Morning America requests, I’d say there’s a pretty good chance you could have a Zoom meeting with the author too, if that’s your thing. From the author of People Like Her comes a smart and sinister murder mystery set in the secretive world of exclusive celebrity clubs.

Ellery Lloyd is a husband and wife writing team who is often noted for their prior work in People Like Her. The Club, however, was not funny like People Like Her. It was really dark, and it could have used some humor to lighten it up.

Some of the characters are more likeable than others and most are morally grey at best. You soon learn about the complex history between the characters. You will not see a lot of action in the beginning but the second half is much more intense and will leave you on the edge of your seat. I thought the ending was satisfying and it concluded the entire story.

Carol, frustrated that Bruce is refusing to have sex with her, tries various ways to entice him, to which he is oblivious. She eventually spikes his beer with viagra, which angers him as that is not what is causing the problem, and they continue to not have sex. Bruce admits that he has been stressed because he retired, and does not know what to do with himself. They eventually reconcile after dancing together in a fund-raising talent show. The second half is much better than the first and some things you learn pull you up sharply and make you reevaluate what you think you know. There are some excellent, dramatic and almost surreal scenes towards the end and a couple of those are doozies! I like the end-justice served. Muller, Marissa G. (June 12, 2019).
