Y'all this book has been SO good so far. No shame if you're not able to finish in time for book club, it's a long one! I've been listening to the audiobook, and it's like being told the most epic bedtime story ever. (Did you know that you can support Books on the Square when you purchase audiobooks from Libro.fm?

No matter how much you've read or what format you read it in, I hope you'll join us for our discussion this Friday at 6pm. Looking forward to seeing you there!
