Millhopper Book Club

Come enjoy reading and virtually discussing newer fiction and nonfiction titles. July's book is "Wish You Were Here" by Jodi Picoult.

This program is being presented live virtually on Zoom.

In July we will discuss, Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult. Diana O'Toole is perfectly on track. She works at Sotheby's and her boss has hinted at a promotion. Her boyfriend, Finn, a surgical resident, is about to propose on their romantic getaway to the Galapagos - days before her 30th birthday. Right on time. But then a virus that felt worlds away has appeared in the city and it's all hands on deck at the hospital. Finn has to stay behind. Diana goes so the nonrefundable trip doesn’t go to waste. Almost immediately, Diana's dream vacation goes awry. Her luggage is lost, the Wi-Fi is nearly nonexistent, and the hotel is shut down. In fact, the whole island is now under quarantine. Completely isolated, she must venture beyond her comfort zone. Slowly, she carves out a connection with a local family when a teenager with a secret opens up to Diana, despite her father's suspicion of outsiders. In the Galapagos Islands, Diana finds herself examining her relationships, her choices, and herself, wondering if when she goes home, she will have evolved into someone completely different. - Description adapted from the publisher

When we meet virtually, we start by sharing books we’ve read recently, then discuss that month’s book.
