The first Clique novel came out when I was 11 years old and I indulged in that series, convincing myself I would've fit right in with Massie Block and the rest of the girls (no matter how bratty they were). So, when I saw that Lisi Harrison was releasing her first adult novel, I knew that I had to check it out. Well....she's done it again! As I read The Dirty Book Club, I truly felt like I was a member of the Dirty Book Club, as if I was reading and discussing along with them. And that's a pretty powerful thing.

Four totally different women are brought together as 'heirs' of the Dirty Book Club and told to take it or leave it, but it's all of them or none of them - it can't be a partial book club. Each of them have their own thirty-something issues, but could they possibly have more in common with each other (and their predecessors) than they think? This book will make you laugh and cry, compile a list of books you NEED to read, and leave you rooting for each and every one of the girls at the end (even if you don't agree with their decisions along the way). However, I will say that I think the book was cut a bit short which, in my opinion, was the only negative thing. The chapters at the end seemed like they were quickly compiled together and threads were loosely tied. I definitely would've loved a slower conclusion - perhaps a few more chapters

and maybe one more letter from Gloria to wrap it all up
