Beth Greenwood has spent her life playing it safe. She’s been a graphic designer at the same company for a decade, she dutifully meets men from the apps for dinner and sometimes casual sex, she thinks about decorating her sterile, small apartment. Her comfort and joy are her Sunday catch-ups with her sister Elspeth, whose perfect life, very different from Beth’s, has recently started to unravel.
One day, Beth meets a woman who invites her to join a secret club. It’s not knitting or books; it’s living out an experience you’ve always wanted to have. Cirque du Soleil acrobat, gonzo graffiti artist, performer in the BDSM underground scene: these women will get you everything you need in order to—temporarily—be the person you might have been, had your life taken one or two different turns.
At first Beth is dazzled by her new friendships and the opportunity they offer her to test the boundaries of her identity, to escape from her quiet, ordinary life. But even the best of clubs can offer only so much distraction, and when the stakes of Beth’s real life become uncomfortably high, she must ask herself, really and truly, who she’s going to choose to be, and who is going to nurture her when she needs it most.
The Players Club is a high-concept but grounded debut about the power of female friendship, the bonds that hold us in place, the human need for creativity, and the seductive possibility of reinvention. As immersive as it is incisive, it introduces Rachel Mills as a wise and warm chronicler of the human heart.

Recensioni della critica
"Shute’s talent shines as she effortlessly shifts between ages and accents, making each character stand out."
"Imagine spending a day as an Elvis impersonator, a heroic traffic warden, or an engaging fitness instructor. Londoner Beth is invited by a mysterious woman to join a secret club whose members help each other experience different “lives.” As Beth embraces these new adventures, her real-life challenges start to intrude upon her performances, prompting her to question her true identity and those she can rely on for support. Narrator Shakira Shute’s versatility is on full display, from the frail voice of an ill sister to the poised calm of a wealthy woman, creating memorable, distinct personalities throughout the story."
