SUMMARY:February 2025 Book Group
DESCRIPTION:Book Group will meet on Tuesday, February 25 at 4:00 p.m. to discuss “The Authenticity Project” by Clare Pooley.\n\nCome early to enjoy fika—beverages and treats─starting at 3:40 p.m.!\n\nPlace a hold through Infosoup ( https://infosoup.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?query=the+Authenticity+Project&searchType=Title ).\n\n\nThe story of a solitary green notebook that brings together six strangers and leads to unexpected friendship, and even love.\n\n\nJulian Jessop, an eccentric, lonely artist and septuagenarian believes that most people aren’t really honest with one another. But what if they were? And so he writes—in a plain, green journal—the truth about his own life and leaves it in his local café. It’s run by the incredibly tidy and efficient Monica, who furtively adds her own entry and leaves the book in the wine bar across the street. Before long, the others who find the green notebook add the truths about their own deepest selves—and soon find each other In Real Life at Monica’s Café.\nThe Authenticity Project‘s cast of characters—including Hazard, the charming addict who makes a vow to get sober; Alice, the fabulous mommy Instagrammer whose real life is a lot less perfect than it looks online; and their other new friends—is by turns quirky and funny, heart-breakingly sad and painfully true-to-life. It’s a story about being brave and putting your real self forward—and finding out that it’s not as scary as it seems. In fact, it looks a lot like happiness.\nThe Authenticity Project is just the tonic for our times that readers are clamoring for—and one they will take to their hearts and read with unabashed pleasure.\n\n\nA New York Times bestseller\nA WASHINGTON POST “FEEL-GOOD BOOK guaranteed to lift your spirits” \n“A warm, charming tale about the rewards of revealing oneself, warts and all.”—People\n\n\nBook Group meets on the fourth Tuesday of each month from January through November. We do not meet in December. Watch our website calendar or our Facebook page for the most recent updates!\n\n\nWe read books across most genres as well as some non-fiction. Anyone is welcome to attend who has read, or is interested in, the current month’s book and would like to participate in friendly discussion.\n\nMembers are welcome to attend one meeting or all of them as their interests and schedules permit.\n\n
