Just because the summer is ending, your reading adventures don't have to stop! Keep the literary magic alive by joining our August Student Book Club gathering, where great books meet even greater conversations! 

This month our group will be discussing Emily Henry's newest novel, Great Big Beautiful Life. 

Alice Scott is still dreaming of her big writing break.. When she receives an invitation to the sun-soaked Little Crescent Island from Margaret Ives—the famously reclusive heiress who's been hiding from the world for decades—she knows this is her chance. There's just one problem: Hayden Anderson, the Pulitzer-prize winning author, has received the same invitation. Margaret's proposal is simple: spend one month uncovering the scandalous truth behind one of the 20th century's most notorious families, and she'll choose who gets to tell her story. But Margaret isn't making it easy—she's only giving each writer tantalizing pieces of the puzzle, bound by an ironclad NDA that keeps Alice and Hayden from comparing notes. And it’s becoming abundantly clear that their story—just like the tale Margaret’s spinning—could be a mystery, tragedy, or love ballad…depending on who’s telling it.

From the author of Beach Read and Book Lovers comes a dazzling novel about the stories we tell ourselves, the truths we're afraid to face, and the messy, beautiful complexity of falling in love with exactly the wrong person at exactly the right time.

Join us on Monday, August 25th from 4:15 to 5:15 in the library's Multipurpose Room for what will be an engaging book discussion!
