A book club for all those who love to read about love!
Modern Romance is a book club for all those who love to read about love! What is "modern romance"? We value diverse voices, fresh perspectives, and stories relevant to current issues. We will be discussing in person at the North Branch on the last Tuesday of the month. Adults and young adults welcome. Books may contain mature content.
Our September book is "You Should Be So Lucky" by Cat Sebastian. There are free copies available to pick up at the North Branch while supplies last, starting August 29.
About the book:
The 1960 baseball season is shaping up to be the worst year of Eddie O'Leary's life. He can't manage to hit the ball, his new teammates hate him, he's living out of a suitcase, and he's homesick. When the team's owner orders him to give a bunch of interviews to some snobby reporter, he's ready to call it quits. He can barely manage to behave himself for the length of a game, let alone an entire season. But he's already on thin ice, so he has no choice but to agree. Mark Bailey is NOT a sports reporter. He writes for the arts page, and these days he's barely even managing to do that much. He's had a rough year and just wants to be left alone in his too-empty apartment, mourning a partner he'd never been able to be public about. The last thing he needs is to spend a season writing about New York's obnoxious new shortstop in a stunt to get the struggling newspaper more readers. Isolated together within the crush of an anonymous city, these two lonely souls orbit each other as they slowly give in to the inevitable gravity of their attraction.
