It was a close one! We had to do a LIVE vote, but July's Book Club selection is...

We Might Just Make It After All: My Best Friendship with Kate Spade by Elyce Arons(non-fiction) - A memoir that details the friendship that began in college and went on to become co-founders of the multi-billion dollar fashion company as they came of age in 1990s New York. Arons first met Katy Brosnahan in a University of Kansas dorm room, she had no idea that this polo-shirt wearing Missouri girl would not only become her best friend, but also change the course of her life. Within a decade they'd be scraping by in NYC, working day jobs to spend nights building a new line of handbangs that would one day revolutionize the accessories industry. Amazon Link
