The Baxter sisters come from a long line of women with disastrous luck in love. But this summer, Sunshine and Margot will turn disasters into destiny...
As an etiquette coach, Margot teaches her clients to fit in. But she's never faced a client like Bianca, an aging movie star who gained fame—and notoriety—through a campaign of shock and awe. Schooling Bianca on the fine art of behaving like a proper diplomat's wife requires intensive lessons, forcing Margot to move into the monastery turned mansion owned by the actress's intensely private son. Like his incredible home, Alec's stony exterior hides secret depths Margot would love to explore. But will he trust her enough to let her in?
Sunshine has always been the good-time sister, abandoning jobs to chase after guys who used her, then threw her away. No more. She refuses to be "that girl" again. This time, she'll finish college, dedicate herself to her job as a nanny, and she 100 percent will not screw up her life again by falling for the wrong guy. Especially not the tempting single dad who also happens to be her boss.
Master storyteller Susan Mallery weaves threads of family drama, humor, romance and a wish-you-were-there setting into one of the most satisfying books of the year!
Don't miss New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's heartwarming summer novel, The Summer Book Club, where conversations over a glass of wine turns into something much more in this journey of motherhood, friendship and love.

        Listeners are treated to Tanya Eby's narration of two love stories that involve two sisters. Margot, an etiquette expert, is hired to coach an aging actress who is marrying a diplomat. Margot moves into the home of the actress's son, Alec, to work with her. Sunshine, Margot's sister, is a nanny for the young son of a widower named Declan. Eby gives each sister a unique voice that matches her personality. Sunshine is younger and much more free spirited than Margot, and Eby gives her a lighter timbre. Eby portrays the actress in appropriately dramatic tones. The listener can easily visualize the child Connor and his ant farm. Especially enjoyable are the budding romances between Sunshine and Declan and Margot and Alec. S.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

        Mallery (California Girls) combines heat and sweet in a delicious tale destined for beach blankets. Fraternal twins Margot and Sunshine Baxter couldn’t be closer, but they also couldn’t be more different. Reserved, by-the-book Margot is a dedicated and responsible etiquette coach, and her younger-by-eight-minutes, free-spirited, bombshell sister Sunshine is a nanny for an adorable and mature 8-year-old, Connor. Sunshine also has a history of abruptly abandoning jobs to travel with unworthy boyfriends. Neither expects to find true love on the job, but soon Margot falls for Alec, the only son of the aging movie star she’s tutoring, and Sunshine discovers incredible chemistry with Declan, the widowed father of her charge. As the sisters navigate the risks of mixing work with romance, Mallery skillfully weaves in tantalizing details from the sisters’ pasts—romantic hurts, the emotional devastation of being abandoned by their mother when they were children—to make the heart-tugging happily-ever-after all the sweeter. Mallery’s gift for creating relatable characters and lively pacing results in a satisfying tale that will win her even more fans. Agent: Annelise Robey, Jane Rotrosen Agency.

        In Mallery's latest, following California Girls (2019), Margot and Sunshine Baxter, fraternal twins, start new live-in jobs at the same time. Willowy Margot moves into a monastery-turned-mansion when she is hired by Alec, a wealthy scholar, to coach Bianca, his movie-star mother, in etiquette, so she doesn't ruin her diplomat fianc�'s career. Curvy Sunshine is hired by widower Declan as nanny to his young ant-obsessed son. Neither of the 31-year-old twins has ever married. Sunshine's habit of leaving jobs and moving whenever she falls in love has kept her from establishing a career. Margot's on-again, off-again relationship with a German filmmaker has taken her all over the world, but he always leaves her and she always goes running back to him whenever he reappears. Now the sisters are determined to improve their lives. Sunshine enrolls in college and Margot refuses her former boyfriend's attempts to contact her. Mallery's approach to the alternating stories of the sisters and their attraction to their powerful employers makes for an enjoyable diversion, perfect for a summer read.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
