Thank you to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for providing this book. The Seven O’Clock Club is an engaging, emotional, and thought-provoking novel that stands out with one of the most unexpected twists I’ve encountered in a non-thriller read in a long time. The story follows four strangers—Freya, Callum, Mischa, and Victoria—who reluctantly join a weekly grief therapy session led by a skillful young psychologist. Each character's distinct personality is captured beautifully: a sharp-tongued lawyer, a lost young woman, a struggling musician, and an unraveling interior designer, all grappling with grief in unique ways. The narrative unfolds through their perspectives, allowing readers to deeply connect with their journeys and secrets. The first half invites readers into their world, slowly revealing their pasts, but just when you think you know where it’s headed, an unexpected twist changes everything and accelerates the pace. The plot shift adds adventure and intensity, but the real strength of the story lies in its exploration of grief, healing, and friendship, seamlessly infused with hints of romance. The ending is as poignant as it is surprising, making this novel a must-read for anyone who enjoys emotional storytelling with rich character development and unpredictable turns. Don't miss out—just beware of spoilers!
