This is our holiday party and to be honest the book gets short shrift at this meeting. We usually try to pick something fun or something not quite so deep, so… we decided to pick bestseller phenom Colleen Hoover! We will get to the bottom of her mad success, plus have a lot of fun!
Also, on this night, we will be doing our famous Yankee Swap. Bring a favorite book that you have read recently – or anytime. Wrap it up and be ready to share. This book can be new, used, or even an audio – as long as you loved it. We’ll also vote on our favorite book group book of the last year. You are welcome to bring a snack or yummy dish, or a beverage (adult or otherwise), and we will provide pizza. It’s a fun night – we hope you can come!!
About the book: In this “brave and heartbreaking novel that digs its claws into you and doesn’t let go, long after you’ve finished it” (Anna Todd, NYT bestselling author) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of All Your Perfects, a workaholic with a too-good-to-be-true romance can’t stop thinking about her first love. Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town where she grew up–she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. And when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life seems too good to be true. Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place. As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan–her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened. An honest, evocative, and tender novel, It Ends with Us is “a glorious and touching read, a forever keeper. The kind of book that gets handed down”
