What we're reading this month...
Our June pick for book club is Liane Moriarty's Apples Never Fall, a story that follows four siblings after the disappearance of their mother. As they seek to uncover the mystery of what happened to her, they are force to confront truths about all the relationships in their lives - with each other, with their partners, and their parents. Liane Moriarty has written several bestselling novels, including Big Little Lies (now an HBO series), and one of the director's favorites, What Alice Forgot.
After enduring the heartache and pain of loosing both her sister and husband to cancer, Delia Ephron connects with a recently-widowed old friend, Peter. Several emails later, they are falling in love and heading towards a rom-com story like the ones the author has written for the movies (You've Got Mail). But only four months later, she is diagnosed with Leukemia and the story takes a much different turn. "In Left on Tenth, Delia Ephron enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring cutting-edge treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love. With Peter and her close girlfriends by her side, with startling clarity, warmth, and honesty about facing death, Ephron invites us to join her team of warriors and become believers ourselves." - From the publisher.
