This is my first time in an online book club. I was hoping for more ongoing comments/discussion. I really enjoyed this book, it gives you so much to think about. Looking forward to having the author join the discussion next week. I have put her other book (Miracle Creek) on reserve at my library.

  Hi Laura,
  I have been participating in this book club for a while now. Typically there isn’t much discussion ongoing, but the actual monthly meetings via Zoom are great.

I sure hope the lack of comments does not mean that nobody is reading the book!

This is a different kind of book for me, but I am enjoying it. Being exposed to different authors and writing styles is a benefit of being in this book club!

Looking forward to our discussion next week.
