Gunn Library Book Club

Please note: Due to the recent sprinkler head malfunction at the Gunn Memorial Library, please check with the library for location information before attending any events.

Gunn Library’s book club meets on the 4th Thursday of every month. Participants can join any time! Copies of the book can be picked up at the library. In March, we will be reading This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub.

Summary:
On the eve of her 40th birthday, Alice’s life isn’t terrible. She likes her job, even if it isn’t exactly the one she expected. She’s happy with her apartment, her romantic status, her independence, and she adores her lifelong best friend. But her father is ailing, and it feels to her as if something is missing. When she wakes up the next morning she finds herself back in 1996, reliving her 16th birthday. But it isn’t just her adolescent body that shocks her, or seeing her high school crush, it’s her dad: the vital, charming, 40-something version of her father with whom she is reunited. Now armed with a new perspective on her own life and his, some past events take on new meaning. Is there anything that she would change if she could?

Discussion questions can be found on the library’s website.
