Discuss "Summer Sisters" at Brooklyn Bridge Park!

Friends! Our theme of Summer in the City will continue to go strong with an extra special July event. We'll discuss Judy Blume's book Summer Sisters (read on for link and description) followed by a free outdoor movie of Waitress in Brooklyn Bridge Park at the PIER 1 HARBOR VIEW LAWN (more info here https://brooklynbridgepark.org/event/movies-with-a-view-july-24/) for whoever would like to stay! Feel free to bring a blanket, snacks, drinks, etc!

In the summer of 1977, Victoria Leonard’s world changes forever when Caitlin Somers chooses her as a friend. Dazzling, reckless Caitlin welcomes Vix into the heart of her sprawling, eccentric family, opening doors to a world of unimaginable privilege, sweeping her away to vacations on Martha’s Vineyard, an enchanting place where the two friends become “summer sisters.”
Now, years later, Vix is working in New York City. Caitlin is getting married on the Vineyard. And the early magic of their long, complicated friendship has faded. But Caitlin begs Vix to come to her wedding, to be her maid of honor. And Vix knows that she will go—because she wants to understand what happened during that last shattering summer. And, after all these years, she needs to know why her best friend—her summer sister—still has the power to break her heart.

We will start the book club discussion at 6pm, and then movie is slated to begin at sunset (I'm guessing around 8pm), so feel free to come for either or both parts!

And as a reminder, for August we will be reading Suzanne Rindell's "Summer Fridays", in case you want to get a head start on those library loans and summer reading! xoxo!
