Molly Bradley has had a hell of a bad year, but she’s doing everything possible to keep herself from going off the rails. When she joins a new book club, she finds herself using every spare minute to plow through the difficult titles the hyper-competitive members choose. The schedule is so tough she would have quit after the first meeting. But spending a little time with Alexa Fox, the host for that night’s meeting, convinced her that whipping through a book a week was a small price to pay for the pleasure of her company. Now all she has to do is remind herself that their growing friendship has to remain just that—a hurdle that proves to be her toughest yet.
