A brilliant heartwarming story about books， friendship and family with a little romance thrown in。 The bookclub members were fabulous - a real mix of characters who supported each other completely。 Not just a bookclub about books but friendship and laughter。 I especially loved Audrey - she sounded a right hoot！Lottie and Matt were great lead characters- both so different but equally compassionate and caring for others。 A great choice for a summer read。

I truly loved this book。 Since I love to read， I love any book that deals with a book club。 Add in a little romance， quirky members and just a little drama， and we’ve got a glorious book。This is the story of Lottie， a kick ass female that owns her own electrician business。 She is a member of a stuffy book club mainly for the social scene， but she finally decides she can’t take it any longer。 She asks the new bookshop owner， handsome Matt， if she can host her own book club meetings in his booksho I truly loved this book。 Since I love to read， I love any book that deals with a book club。 Add in a little romance， quirky members and just a little drama， and we’ve got a glorious book。This is the story of Lottie， a kick ass female that owns her own electrician business。 She is a member of a stuffy book club mainly for the social scene， but she finally decides she can’t take it any longer。 She asks the new bookshop owner， handsome Matt， if she can host her own book club meetings in his bookshop after hours and the fun begins。Her book club focuses on rom coms。 And the octogenarian member （Audrey） always finds the sex angle to discuss。 They drink gin， eat homemade cake and order pizza - now that’s a book club worth joining。Throughout the year， Lottie & Matt grow closer。 But can Matt get over his cheating ex-wife？ And can Lottie get over her ex who has moved back to England to declare his undying love for her？ This is the cutest book that everyone should read。 It’s an easy read and the characters are so darn likable。I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 The opinions stated above are mine without biases。 。。。more

"The Beach Reads Book Club" is the kind of book that hits all the right notes: funny， light， romantic， serious， thought provoking， and enjoyable。 What starts out as a rebellion against the serious book club in town becomes life changing for everyone involved。 Lottie and a few others start a bookclub to get back to reading books they enjoy， and the books become a gateway to sharing their lives， their problems， and their successes。 Matt is trying to start a new life by moving with his father and s "The Beach Reads Book Club" is the kind of book that hits all the right notes: funny， light， romantic， serious， thought provoking， and enjoyable。 What starts out as a rebellion against the serious book club in town becomes life changing for everyone involved。 Lottie and a few others start a bookclub to get back to reading books they enjoy， and the books become a gateway to sharing their lives， their problems， and their successes。 Matt is trying to start a new life by moving with his father and sister to the small seaside British town and taking over the local bookshop。 He's trying to reinvent himself but having minimal success until Lottie comes in asking if her new bookclub can meet in his shop。 The whole family is slowly changed by the friendly and outgoing club members and Matt and Lottie discover special chemistry between them that might lead to something as explosive as in the pages of any romance novel。 This book is a love letter to the romance genre。 It celebrates how the books are about more than what their detractors think: sex。 Friendship， support， humor， and discovering one's own sense of worth are at the heart of any romance， and "The Beach Reads Book Club" has all of this in spades。 All of the secondary characters get their moments， balanced nicely and propelling forward the main plot and main characters。 Lottie and Matt are both lacking in self-confidence， though for different reasons， and doing a great job of not showing it to the world。 Matt in particular fools even his family。 It's heartbreaking to see how they think he's reacting versus how he is internally reacting and I love how Lottie helps bridge the distance between Matt and his family。 Lottie and Matt get great emotional journeys and internal struggles， and while each can support the other， author Kathryn Freeman does a brilliant job of showing how we each have to make the decision to change and confront our problems before they can be fixed。Full of British humor and slang， sweet moments between friends and sparkling ones between lovers， this is a beach read you'll want to pick up even when its snowing outside。 I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review 。。。more

This lighthearted story with some lovely characters is ideal for this time of year， either sitting by a pool or beach or out in your garden， it is charming and I’d Definetly love to be able to join this book club by the sea。 Lottie is a delight and I enjoyed getting to know Jake and his history， a definet recommend for some light and sometimes sexy escapism。 Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this proof。

A lighthearted enjoyable read， just like the books in the book club。 Perfect for a summer read on the beach or by the pool。 The title is therefore very apt。Having recently read some heavy books with disagreeable characters it was a pleasure to refresh my reading with this book。 The characters were well described， likeable and believable， the storyline flowed with just enough conflict to give it a slight bite and save it from being bland without causing the reader too much angst。
