Fling Club
Serendipity Book 1
by Tara Brown
It’s revenge—sweet and hot—in the first book of this sexy and wickedly funny series by international bestselling author Tara Brown.
For the young, rich, and beautiful, summertime in the Hamptons means one thing: Fling Club. Only this time, Cherry Kennedy won’t be selecting a boy for a fleeting romance. Nope, this season, Cherry is out for revenge. Her target? The Fling Club founder and society darling who slept with Cherry’s now-very-ex-boyfriend. And all Cherry needs is the perfect guy for her plan…
Ashley Jardine can’t afford to refuse. He scored almost a full ride to MIT. But that almost still costs a lot. And this is so much money for a little game of revenge and a chance—albeit short—to live the high life. Here, rich girls rule the shore, and everyone has a role to play. Only nothing in the job description warned Ashley that the redhead who’s running the scheme would be so crazy. And cute. Or that he wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about her.
Now, everything is going according to plan—until an unexpected attraction raises the stakes. It’s enough to turn the perfect payback into absolute heartbreak.

Momma Says: 1 star⭐
I have a really hard time not finishing a book. It's almost a compulsion to make it to that last page, but as stubborn as I am, I can admit defeat and am doing so with this one. The blurb sounded so promising. In fact, I was hooked from the first line promising the beginning of a "wickedly funny series." Maybe it's just me, and it's quite possible that I just don't have the right kind of sense of humor (whatever that may be), but by the fifty percent mark, I realized I hadn't laughed a single time - not a smile, not a chuckle, nothing. I did find a boatload of slut and body shaming, a so-called romantic interest who is a complete jerk, and a slew of other characters who just weren't likable. The story is reminiscent of movies like Mean Girls, Cruel Intentions, Heathers, and the like. In fact, those are mentioned more than once in the book, but everything was just way too over the top for me. So much so, that the earlier mentioned fifty percent mark is where I gave up.
