The Gemini team have started up a book club! ‘Read between the wines’ was created to allow us to spend time out of the office together and share a mutual passion for reading over a drink (or two) after work!  

Becky, Annette, Emma, Jess, Amber and Amazing Woman marketing assistant Abbey went to the Dirty Duck pub garden to sit in the sun, a lovely setting to discuss our first read: ‘The Girls of Summer’ by Kate Bishop. A great part about the book is that it has 6 questions at the back which were useful topics of discussion for us, and we enjoyed going through them together! 

The book: 

The Girls of Summer flips between the past and present tense of the main character Rachel’s life. The past is her backpacking trip in Greece when she was 17, and the present is her life as a married woman in London.  But you quickly realise her time on one particular island was not as perfect as it seems, and a darker side is uncovered as you read through the book.  

Overall, we rated the book 3/5 stars. It was an enjoyable read, however, there are themes of denial and naivety that caused some frustration in the group.  

We would love to hear about your recommendations for our next read, so please tell us via email or social media if you have any must-read books to try next! Stay caught up with our book reviews over on our TikTok where we are making some fun content for each book that we read.
