One of the things I loved about this book, and the one before, is that while it’s definitely erotica, it’s also more. There’s a lot of it in this book obviously and it never feels repetitive. I’m also very impressed at the way Brooks keeps the sex fresh and new. These stories could feel clinical and cold but they never do. Whether these women want to try something new, enjoy anonymous sex, or like meeting up in a safe environment with the same people each time, whatever their stories are, the common thread is how human, how warm Brooks manages to make them feel. It mostly takes place in the club of the title – a sex club for women in Manchester – and, beyond the sex-with-strangers theme, offers snapshots of wlw lives. I won’t get into the details of what The Club Revisited is about. It’s a really good book, for one, and Mandy’s story, at the very least, deserves to be read in order. The story picks up where The Club ended, and while it’s not exactly necessary to have read the first book to enjoy this one, I strongly recommend it.

And I’m very happy to say Brooks didn’t disappoint. The Club Revisited was one of the most anticipated sequels this year, even for me who hadn’t read the first book until recently.
