Como lectora del género romántico y erótico me llamaba la atención leer un libro donde este fuera un protagonista más. La historia, además, incluye un Club de Lectura que reúne cada dos semanas en un café de Bristol a 5 personas (4 mujeres de diferentes edades y condición y un hombre). Lo que empieza siendo un club de lectura normal se convierte en una suerte de terapia para sus integrantes, que se encuentran bastante insatisfechos con su vida sexual y personal. Gracias a los libros elegidos (la mayoría reales y solo uno inventado y basado en 50 sombras de Grey) y las charlas tan abiertas que sobre ellos mantienen, se plantean qué está mal en sus vidas para cambiarlo y, así, ser más felices.
La autora da voz a cada uno de los 5 protagonistas y nos habla sobre la necesidad inherente del ser humano de amar y ser amado, de prejuicios e inhibiciones y del coraje que se necesita para salir de nuestra zona de confort y experimentar cosas nuevas… Pero, sobre todo, trata sobre la necesidad de vivir plenamente y disfrutar de la vida y lo que nos hace felices sin tener en cuenta el qué dirán.
Es una novela agradable y fácil de leer, con una gran cantidad de romance, amistad y contenido que invita a la reflexión, pero nada sorprendente y a la que le falta algo más de emoción y desarrollo de los personajes.

Un libro divertente con cui parlare di sesso ed erotismo senza tabù!
E quando dico divertente, credetemi, intendo dire che riderete per davvero! Vi troverete alle prese con un gruppo di lettura improbabile, composto da quattro donne di diversa età ed un giovane laureando che si ritrovano a leggere di settimana in settimana libri di letteratura erotica, classici e non, discutendone animatamente e affrontando l'argomento da diversi punti di vista. Superato l'imbarazzo iniziale si renderanno conto che il sesso è parte integrante delle vite di tutti e a volte fa bene liberarsi dall'imbarazzo e sconfiggere i pregiudizi, è solo così, infatti, che riusciranno ad affrontare la vita con più sicurezza ed un pizzico di spregiudicatezza in più :P
Sophie Hart ha scrittura che amo definire spensierata: non si perde in fronzoli, si lascia andare a qualche cliché funzionale alla storia e ci fa trascorrere così giornate in compagnia di personaggi a cui è impossibile non affezionarsi.

You'd think with a title like The Naughty Girls Book Club, that this book is going to full of nothing but naughty and full of sex. Now as much as that plays a big part in the book, in my opinion it's actually a book about friendships and relationships. It's a perfect chick-lit read, but with a naughty twist. It's no way ready to be sat in the erotica section that's for sure.
The book follows, Estelle Humphreys in her lovely little cafe, Cafe Crumb. Struggling financially she starts a book club to try attract new custom. The book club takes shape and ends up consisting of, Estelle (of course), 64 year old frustrated and retired, Sue. Bored and shy teacher, Rebecca. Bolshy, opinionated and quirky librarian, Gracie. And lastly, uni geek, Reggie, who's painfully shy and is actually really there to help him out for his university thesis.
The group come together brilliantly, not only do we get their insights on some of the more naughtier novels around, but also their insights on life. The versatility you get with them all and their own individual stories opens the book up to allow you to get to know the characters individually and to get their personal opinions and views too. This giving the read more depth and like ability.
The balance of real reactions to controversial subjects has been thoroughly met and researched brilliantly. So, I applaud Sophie greatly for this.
I have to be honest here and say, I did struggle with the first few chapters. I got swept away with my own opinions and views which therefore restricted me from getting stuck in. I did get over it though, thank god, and I'm glad I did because after that the book became a dream to read. It's funny, sad, cheesy, raunchy & real.
I recommend this to everyone. Male, female, young, old. It's definitely worthy of a read.

Entretenido, pero me esperaba más.- Un libro romántico que no me despertó ningún sentimiento.- Me pareció que le faltó profundidad a las relaciones.- Tal vez comencé a leerlo con muchas expectativas.-

The Naughty Girls book Club by Sophie Hart is certainly not one of those books you can judge by its cover. When I began reading the first page of this book my initial thought was here is another predictable bonkbuster!
I couldn't have been more wrong.
The book follows a great group of characters who have met at a new book club run by the lovable Estelle. The book club is held in Estelle’s café and was an idea to bring more trade to Café Crumb, but it’s not long before a firm friendship begins to grow between the group. The books they read are all variations of erotica and we get to see what affects the books and the book club has on each of the characters love lives.
The author has brought to life five down to earth characters in this book and I loved every one of them. They were all extremely well developed characters and all played a huge part in this book, which is unusual to find five full bodied main characters in a book. Once again this book misleads us as from the title I assumed that it was going to be all girls in the book club but there is actually a guy there too, Reggie and he is a great geeky, intelligent and sheltered character. Reggie was a lovely addition to the girls in the book club.
The storyline was very enjoyable and entertaining. The book was not what I was expecting at all and it was a fabulous read that I very nearly missed reading as I totally expected to have handcuffs and vibrators on every page! Although there were some sexual scenes they were entertaining and in context and by no means did I find them crude.
The book was fast paced and impossible to put down. I loved the whole book from start to finish. The book club theme is something new to me I have never read a book that has this as a topic so it made a nice change. There really is something for everyone in this book, and I am sure it will have you laughing away on many occasions, I had a little chuckle to myself when I was doing a massage at work and had an image of George in my head saying “I am not a salad!”
This was a very clever storyline that had me hooked and it is certainly one that I will be recommending, I can’t wait for more books by Sophie Hart.

The author of this book clearly had a good time playing on the whole Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon... and, I loved it! I remember all of the little whispers from my friends when that series came out. More than once I had friends asking as discreetly as possible... "Have you read those books??" (wink wink) LOL I even had some friends reading it in secret and hiding it from their husbands. But, who are we kidding... they loved it too. No doubt there were happy husbands all over the world because of that naughty series.
Anyway... back to the book...
This story takes place in England... so, you'll need to put on your British hat for this story. I love any and all books that take place in the UK because I used to live there, so this book already had a head start in the I heart you department.
Estelle needs to drum up business for her café so she decides to start a book club. What started out as a serious book club quickly turned into an opportunity for everyone to read... "that book"... you know, just to see what all of the fuss is about. Sound familiar?? I'm talking to all of you FSOG peeps out there... :)
The fun part of the story for me were the variety of characters we meet in this book club.
**Estelle is forty something divorcee with a son and works a full time job managing the cafe on her own. No time for romance!
**Then we have Rose, now retired and having trouble re-connecting with her husband after 40 yrs of marriage.
**Next is Rebecca, contently married but she and her husband have fallen into a routine and she misses the way things were when they first got married.
**Next is Gracie... single, young, with a taste for 50's style and very much a feminist.
**Last on the list is Reggie... LOL... the young graduate student who decides to join the group to do research on how literature has an effect on the community. I'm pretty sure he did not expect to be reading erotica... but oddly enough he seemed to benefit from it all in the end. So, three cheers to Reggie for his bravery!
After a failed attempt at reading serious literature, they all decide to take a leap of faith and read a very popular erotica novel called "Ten Sweet Lessons". It was really funny listening to them discuss this book. Whether you are young or old or a man, everyone has an opinion and they all sounded very familiar. "It was great... It was awful... I hate the heroine... Is that what women want??" Sound familiar??
Reading a modern erotica tale inspired them to select books that were considered controversial and erotic in the past so they could compare them to the modern version they had just read.
By reading and discussing these novels as a group they began to grow closer as friends. Pretty soon they were all lending out their words of wisdom and support to each other as they each decide to challenge themselves to take the brave step forward to improving their intimate lives. This book is mostly about the bonds of friendship and how they empowered each other to take those brave steps toward re-igniting the passion missing in their lives.
I love how we got an opportunity to see how each of these individuals from young to old, all dealing with levels of intimacy at the different stages of life. Yes, all people crave it from young to old. Do we ever stop wanting to be wanted? Nope... we don't.
My favorite scenes were with Rebecca and her husband Tony... Rebecca was the most inspired of all of the individuals in the group. And, she and her husband got up to some silly and fun naughty times. Pink handcuffs, chocolate body paint, sexy lingerie... yep, they were having fun. I loved watching their marriage bloom back to life.
This is a heartwarming story that will appeal strongest to us older ladies who have been around the block and know how it feels to find yourself stuck in a relationship rut. It takes a little work to get un-stuck and that is where I think erotica plays an important role. We need something to give us that inspiration... men have their stuff... we have ours! And, it's all okay if it empowers you to keep your marriage/relationship active and fulfilling.
This is not a book to read if you're looking for hot and steamy sex scenes... but, definitely one to pick up if you like stories that are focused on friendship, change and taking those brave steps forward to improving your life. I laughed, smiled and giggled all the way through and it left me feeling good at the end for all of these characters. So glad I picked this one up... :)

I am more than happy to reveal that, every now and again, I like to lean towards a little erotica and slightly naughty fiction…just to mix things up, of course!!! What better book to read then than ‘The Naughty Girls’ Book Club’, which plays out the very identifiable enjoyment and delight in reading this genre, all set within a rather familiar group of shy and ordinary women.
Estelle Humphreys is a single Mum who is struggling to keep her café afloat, but is determined to try anything to bring in a bit of extra business. Seeing the local bookshop over the road close down prompts her to branch out a little and so, she decides to set up a fortnightly evening book club at the café, in the hope that it will drum up some fresh customers. To her delight, the first night proves to be a success with an albeit small group of takers; all different ages and personalities, but all glad and excited to escape the drudgery of their everyday lives.
It very quickly turns out that this book club is not your typical book club though! After all agreeing that the classics are not satisfying them, they take the decision to give the group a definite and precise objective…to discuss books that embrace as many aspects in the realm of erotic fiction. Whilst all but one of the books discussed are in fact genuine books, it is the fictional ‘Ten Sweet Lessons’ that steels the show, breaking down many of Sophie Hart’s characters inhibitions and giving them the courage to discover and experiment with new things.
We get taken on the journey of each individual and how their personal relationships change as a result of the books they are reading and the friendships that they have formed with each other. All the characters, who have their storyline told from their own perspectives, are engaging and endearing in some way or another, each of them becoming more likeable and believable as the story progresses.
The book had, however, made a promise on its blurb to be scandalous and seductive, which, although there were a few short scenes of a sexual nature, it disappointingly didn’t tally with this description in my opinion. But whilst there are no real surprises throughout the book, it was certainly an enjoyable novel with a fulfilling amount of romance, friendship and thought-provoking content. It’s easy-to-read and will definitely entertain you, but just may not astound, shock or blow you away!
It is of course glaringly blatant from the beginning that ‘Ten Sweet Lessons’ bears a huge resemblance to that of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ by E L James and the undoubtedly huge phenomenon that has been the result of the book. As Sophie Hart quite rightly points out herself, there’s no denying that, whilst there are many criticisms of E L James’ book, it has had a tremendous effect on today’s readers, and without it, ‘The Naughty Girls’ Book Club’ would probably not exist. I, too, plead guilty of being part of this phenomenon, and it’s for this reason that I picked up and read ‘The Naughty Girls’ Book Club’ in the first place.

Este era la ñectura que necesitaba en este momento para reconectar con el romance y el chik-lit. El argumento es muy divertido y la ejecución fue perfecta, la trama en general no es bastante predecible, pero es tan fresca y ligera que me la engullí en poco más de un día (que a veces una tiene que dormir e interactuar con la sociedad).
Quisiera que tradujeran más libros de esta aitora porque fue un valioso descubrimiento.

Lo tome como un libro para pasar el rato, distractor, no me había hecho mayor expectativa. Y el titulo me daba una idea de a que referiría.
El fin primero logrado, agradable lectura, sin mayores pretensiones la autora plantea y crea personajes reales, desde sus entornos a sus emociones, sus vidas y quehaceres.
El cafe Croumb, resulta ser ese lugar que en mi imaginario de reunirnos personas a comentar sobre lecturas, un interés común, y una decidida manera expresarse,pueden estar a a espera de realizarse. La autora nos expone esta idea, y reúne en un mismo lugar vidas, momentos, confianzas y maneras de sacar los miedos interiores a través de lo que se lee como identificación con lo leído.
Es agradable, el desarrollo esta bien dotada de momentos personales que hacen como que nos confiemos a personas queridas que pueden escucharnos y ser parte de nuestras decisiones.
Es una novela fresca, y adicional muy bien enfocado el tema de los libros eróticos como parte de un genero literario que puede verse desde otro angulo.
Si deseas un buen momento y tips que te hagan pensar, vale leerlo.

El club de lectura de las chicas traviesas.
Me gustan mucho los libros que hacen referencia a otro libros. No copy paste.
En este caso en particular al haber participado de un Club de lectura me sentí identificada en mayor o menor medida con las protagonistas y como el libro indicado en su momento justo puede transformar tu vida. Y como todas "las chicas traviesas" lo que mejor llevo después de haber vivido la experiencia de un Club de lectura es que encontré en el amigas. Que hoy son una parte esencial de mi vida y se que lo seguirán siendo por siempre. Las quiero!! (Saben quienes son)// The reading club naughty girls. I really like books that refer to other books. No copy/paste. In this particular case, having participated in a book club I was more or less identified with the characters in the book and if indicated at the right moment can transform your life. And the most important thing that I won was my best and crazy friends. And you know, whom they are

Review: Now I LOVE books about book groups, and I do like a bit of erotica, so I pretty much knew I was going to love this book, but I was still surprised because it didn't take the plot direction that I thought it was going to, and in doing so, exceeded all my expectations! I thought it was a brilliant concept, with the development of 50 Shades of Grey and all the others that have been release since, erotica has definitely become more mainstream, and so a book group focusing solely on 'naughty books' is a great idea!
Each and every character in this book adds to the development of the plot as well as to the readers enjoyment. Cafe owner Estelle, initially seems pretty reserved, a divorced mum with a teenage son, she is not as conservative and you might expect,however. Then we have retired Sue, again somewhat more conservative than the other members of the group, but the amount that she learns bout herself and changes over the course of the novel is truly phenomenal. Initially I didn't like the male character in the group, Reggie, I thought he felt as if the book grip was beneath him, but he is really brought out of his shell by other members of the group. Rebecca is your typical newly wed finding that marriage isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be. The novels she reads seem to bring out her character with each page turn. My favourite member of the group though is Gracie. I find it fab that she works in a library and I love the sound of her sense of style. She's definitely a whole lot of fun.
There are, or course, other male characters in the novel aside from book-club member Reggie and these guys all bring something the to the book as well. At some points I feel sorry for Rebecca's husband Andy, he really doesn't know what he's in for when Rebecca starts reading the books that the group discuss. The addition of the make characters mean that there is of course romance throughout the storyline! I think the balance of sex, and romance and plot was just fabulous, the author has got it spot on in this case, and that's part of what makes it such an entertaining read!
Whilst there definitely are some slightly risqué scenes in this book, all the sex is dealt with incredibly tastefully and so don't be fooled into thinking this novel is going to be a complete bonkfest full of descriptions from the pages of the books they are reading. The sex is interspersed with the perfect amount of romance, but also a decent helping of real life. I think everyone will be able to relate to one of these characters, or at least something that one of them is going through, another place where this author has got it exactly right.
The Naughty Girls Book Club is a great read, something which I think any reader could pick up and enjoy as a fun, fast-paced novel. The characters are likeable, the storyline and realistic BUT it will make you want to go out and buy more books, so be warned! There is a fab section at the end of the book that has, not only suggested book-club questions, but also suggested reading material! I am proud to say that I have read a decent chunk of the books suggested, but there are at least three books mentioned by this author that are going straight on my wish list!

Every once in a while I am in the mood for a really good spicy, erotica story. I have come a long way since I read my first erotica book. I can remember reading the book Gemini Heat by Portia Da Costa. What a first book to pick too as my introduction to erotica. Sisters and one guy...threesome...oh boy. Trying to write my first review of this genre was hard. I even had found myself blushing writing it as I liked the book but how do you like something like this without trying to come off like you could be labeled a sex addict. I am not but you get the picture. So anyways what my point is, is that for these types of books to make me like them or even love them anymore, the characters have to be interesting, there has to be chemistry and not just sex with little storyline. If these things are not there than it is just a book that does not make me feel anything like wanting to grab my husband and kiss him after reading the book.
I did not feel like this reading this book. In fact, after about chapter ten I gave up on this book. None of the characters were that interesting to me. I can't even remember their names or what they looked like. The first book selection that they chose sounded good and I was looking forward to reading the book along with the book club. Sadly, I did not get to as the ladies just discussed their thoughts about the book. Like I said this book was not for me.

I was going to pass this to another reviewer. until Lynda Renham said she was reading it and that it wasn't what you would expect. So I thought I would give it a go and am bloody glad i did, the beginning of the book could of been part of any house, town or anywhere really, it is almost how life was when the 'Grey' books came out. Some people loving it, others hating it but everyone reading it. This happens with a bunch of 5 people who make up a book club. Their general topic of books is erotica, but the story is no way rude, crude or even risque. Its a funny story of 5 people who through the book club and things that need changing in their lives, form friendships that are there for a life time. Along with romances and journeys the group become a tight knit group that are wonderful to hear about and get to know. I loved reading about these people and really felt part of the group.

Una lectura amable y entretenida, ideal para desconectar un rato y terminar el libro con una sonrisa.

Four stars: A fun chick lit read with genuine characters and romance.
Estelle is immersed in the latest erotica novel that is taking the world by storm. Just when it is getting good, she hears her teenage son and is jolted back to reality. Estelle returns her attention to closing out the day's receipts. Estelle is the owner of the Crumbs Cafe. After her divorce, she threw everything into her little bakery. The winter months are always the hardest and the cafe is struggling. Estelle decides to try and bring in business by hosting a book club. At the first meeting there are five members. The group has a discussion on Tess of the d'Urbervilles, but it is lacking enthusiasm. At the end of the meeting, they are trying to pick their next read, Estelle was planning on Crime and Punishment, but the group doesn't seem to keen on another classic. As she roots around in her handbag trying to come up with an exciting read. Her copy of Ten Lessons, the hot erotica novel she has been reading, falls out and the group leaps on it. Soon the small book club is reading only erotic novels and learning a few new things about sex and relationships. Can they put what the read to practical use?
What I Liked:
*First, don't let the title dissuade you from reading this book. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was not a steamy, erotic read even though the book club's focus is on erotic books. This is a terrific chick lit book with genuine characters and realistic situations. The sex is a minimal aspect of the book, and when there is sex it is tastefully done. I thought this was the perfect palate cleansing read. I loved the characters, and I found myself immediately rooting for them. I had a lot of fun with this book!
*I thoroughly enjoyed the characters in the book club. It is a small and eclectic bunch. Estelle is the founder. She is in her late forties, divorced, mother of a teenage son and owner of a small bakery. Recently retired, Sue who is in her early sixties is quickly growing bored with retirement and discouraged that her husband doesn't want to get out and do things. Rebecca has been married for a little over a year and she is disappointed that her sex life is in a rut. Gracie a librarian with an amazing sense of style is nearing thirty and never been lucky in love. Reggie rounds out the group. He is also in his late twenties, working on his doctorate. He joins the group to gain information on his thesis. He is the only male in the group and at first, he is shy especially when the ladies decide to focus on erotic novels. Quickly, the group becomes fast friends despite their age differences, and they are soon supporting each other and growing close. I loved the dynamic in the group and I enjoyed watching the relationships form. I grew to love each and every one of the characters.
*I was a bit hesitant going into this knowing that the book club was going to focus on erotic reads. Erotica is not my cup of tea. I am just not a fan of detailed and explicit sex scenes in my reading, just a personal preference. That being said, I was delighted to find that everything was handled tastefully. I liked that even though the focus of the club was on erotic novels, the group made it educational. They weren't reading the books for the smut value, they explored different erotic novels from all eras. It was eye opening and interesting to learn about famous erotic novels of the past. I thought the author did an exceptional job with the erotica. This book shows how erotica has always been a part of reading and how it has evolved and changed over the centuries. Fear not, all the discussions are tasteful and they don't sit around talking about the sex in explicit detail.
*As the group begins to explore they erotica novels in the book club, they start finding uses for it in their own sex lives. I liked seeing how each character took what they read and incorporated it into their lives. It made some of them more bold and willing to try something new. In the end, all of the characters learn something about themselves, their relationships and they all end up better people. I loved the growth and changes in all the characters.
The sex scenes are done just right. For me, sex scenes are best when there is less detail. The author provides enough information to give you the picture, and then she cuts out without going into the explicit details. There aren't pages and pages of hot, steamy sex in this. So if you are one who loves the sizzling sex scenes, you will be disappointed. I personally thought they were well done.
*I liked that the characters are diverse, different ages and in all types of relationships. I think that most readers will find a character that they can relate to a bit.
Even though the ending was a bit bitter sweet, I was so happy to see how far each of the members of the group had come during their time together. I appreciated that the author provided a nice little Epilogue and everything ends happily.
And The Not So Much:
*I was a bit put off at first by Reggie. I didn't think a male had a place in The Naughty Girl's Book Club. I was expecting the group to be all female because of the title. When Reggie first shows up, he makes it clear he is there to gather research for his thesis. He is shy and doesn't actively participate. I kept hoping that he would give up on the book club, especially when they started reading erotica. However as time went on, he begins to open up and he starts adding to the discussion. After that, I enjoyed watching how the book club gave him new confidence. He ended up being a great addition to the book club.
*Sue was the hardest character for me to relate to. She is in her early sixties and struggling with retirement. She is already missing her busy life and disappointed that her husband has no interest in doing anything other than puttering around at home. Her sex life has never been satisfying and she soon learns what she has been missing once she starts reading all the erotica. Sue's parts of the book are the most negative as she and her husband start fighting. It gets worse and worse, and I didn't like that her parts dragged down the story. I was grateful that things finally ended on a high note for Sue, and I ended up appreciating her journey.
*The ending is a bittersweet. I was a touch disappointed that after everything the group had gone through that due to circumstances, things began to rapidly change. I kind of hated seeing the changes. I appreciated though that the Epilogue wraps everything up and ties up the loose ends.
The Naughty Girls' Book Club was a surprisingly good read. I loved that this was a book with genuine characters in realistic situations. I enjoyed exploring the relationships and seeing the characters transform. I appreciated that this was an educational read as well and I learned a lot about how erotic books have changed throughout the centuries. The sex is tasteful and lacks explicit detail. Bottom line this is a feel good chick lit read perfect for when you need something light and fun.
Favorite Quotations:
"All the best books should be shared and discussed and debated. It's a centuries' old tradition. People have always loved stories."
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this review.

Me ha gustado muchísimo este libro, me he leído la mayoría en medio día, tiene toques graciosos, otros bastante serios al observar las vidas de estos personajes, con sus parejas y así, con tonos sensuales porque no llega a lo erótico con todo y que esos son los libros que leen en este pequeño club de lectura.
Sucede que la dueña de una cafetería no está pasando por su mejor momento económico así que decide hacer un club de lectura para atraer clientes. A este llegan diversas personas comenzando con ella misma, Estelle es un mujer divorciada que solo se dedica a su negocio y a la crianza de su hijo, Rebecca quien se ha casado un año atrás y comienza a sentir su vida monótona, Gracie es un mujer contundente, un poco enfada con la vida; Sue una sexagenaria recién jubilada que no soporta estar todo el tiempo en casa como prefiere su marido, y Reggie, un hombre tímido e inseguro que está preparando su doctorado. Por un momento gracioso terminan leyendo el best-seller de la temporada, un libro erótico con tintes BDSM... y se abre un nuevo universo que le pondrá sabor a las vidas de todos. Me he divertido mucho, me ha parecido genial el camino que toma cada pareja.

My best friend and partner in crime sharon , came round one day and pulled this book out of her bag . The title got me thinking and grabbed me especially after reading her first hot saucy page . I went on
Amazon bagged my own .
As like in the book club i own and love many of my own erotica books .
This book indeed was as i expected a really good book but to my surprise not full of sex and seduction it focused more on strangers becoming friends and relationships whether they're going down the pan or non existent.
Estelle, owner of cafe crumb was struggling financially the cafe wasnt doing so great , Estelle forced to think on her feet comes up with what she thinks is a great idea........ a book club .
After the first meeting it seems that the book club is failing until someone suggests the new book for the week , hot erotica .Ten sweet lessons.
Heated up by there new found love of erotica the book club members come to realise sex and love can and should happen in their own lives and this causes a whirl of events.

I'm not going to lie, this was a delightful, naughty little read. It's essentially a cozy, beach read, with some sex, a book club, happy endings (literally), and a cozy little cafe set in England. What's not to love. It's light, it's breezy, there's cute cliche characters of all ages and times of life (although no diversity to speak of) from a young feminist, to a newly married woman, to a divorcee, to a male graduate student and a recent retiree who is going stir crazy staying at home. What starts as a sweet and innocent book club at a local cafe quickly turns into an erotica book club by accident (the cafe owner had a scandalous book in her purse). The attendees who all started as strangers quickly become friends and find confidence in the personal (and sexual) lives. It's cute, it's fun, it's an all around good book that will make you want to read more erotica and join a book club!

This was an ok book, but for me it was too long and didn't have me dying to know what happened with the characters. Actually, many of their endings were quite predictable. The idea of a naughty book club where they read and talk about only erotica was interesting, but there was a bit too much squeamishness to me and really only one character, Rebecca, the owned it and didn't back away from there discussion. Overall, it was just a fine chick-lit read.

Chick-lit ben scritto e wholesome (nonostante il tema principale: le letture erotiche), perfetto come lettura di recupero dopo romanzi difficili e cupi.
Ricorda molto una fan fiction, ma prendendo tutte le qualità di queste: personaggi carini con i loro quirk, scrittura veloce e leggera (infatti queste quasi 400 pagine sono volate via), piena di descrizioni che aiutano a immaginare senza troppi sforzi le vicende narrate, momenti di drama e crescita soddisfacente dei personaggi. Anche le scene più esplicite non sono così pesanti, c’è sempre questo alone rosa che sfuma tutto e rende più divertente che eccitante. Ma soprattutto, non ti trovi a cringiare male.
Leggere questo libro è stato come vedere un film romantico televisivo fatto bene, uno di quelli che mandano in onda nel primo pomeriggio d’estate mentre sei sul divano con la nonna che si fa un pisolino due posti più in là.
Ero più sulle tre stelle e mezzo, ma arrotondate a 4 perché mi ha salvata da una lettura pesantina.

Una lettura divertente e insolita. Di per sé, un libro che parla di libri (perdonate il gioco di parole) per me è bello a prescindere. In questo poi c'è anche amicizia, ironia, divertimento, amore. Impossibile non affezionarsi ai personaggi. Complimenti all'autrice che ha saputo raccontare le varie storie dei personaggi senza digressioni inutili. Bello, veramente bello.
