Into a year-long dry spell, Laney is single-single. She asks her best friend Becca if she's busy:“So do you have any plans tonight? Do you want to see a movie?”“A girl-date on a Saturday night? No way. That’s a Saturday morning thing. I’m not going to pay $12 for a ticket and $30 for popcorn so I can sit in a movie theater with a bunch of oversexed yet still horny and obnoxious teenagers. All they do is talk over the movie, scream, laugh, or whatever they need to do to be louder than their idiot friend sitting next to them.”“That’s when you know you’re old,” I say. “You suddenly figure out that matinees make financial sense.”But Becca has a different idea for Laney. She drags her to The Club. Becca learned about The Club through another friend's whispers in a deserted stairwell.Emma Payne's The Club (Room 237 Series, Book One) is a chatty novella. Especially for such a short work, it offers fun and excitement.
