AUGUST'S SELECTION


The Breakfast Club will be reading "The Last Summer (Of You and Me)" for August. It's written by the author of the popular young adult novel series "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," Ann Brashares. This is her first adult novel, and if it's anything like her others, it will be a good discussion book.

The book was chosen by someone who has never chosen before. It's always fun to pick your first book, and your second book, and your third book...ok, you get what I am trying to say.

As a reminder, book club for August will not be on the fourth Saturday of the month, but the third. Usually for August, during the Homecoming, we have the book club the fourth Saturday. But, it will be held on the regular third Satuday on August 15th.

Here's what amazon.com posted what the book is about:

Riley and Alice, two sisters now in their twenties, and as fiercely different as they are loyal, have spent every summer at their parents’ modest beach house on New York’s Fire Island. Each year, they return to the house and community they have known since they were children—and to Paul, the boy next door. But this summer marks a season of change: budding love and sexual interest, an illness, and a deep secret force all three to confront the increasing complexities of their lives and friendships.

HAPPY READING!
