July Book Club: The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett by Chelsea Sedoti

We will gather and introduce ourselves and then spend about 70 minutes talking about the book. We try to bring a feminist perspective to every book discussion. And yes, it's OK if you didn't finish the book.

At the end of our time, we'll hold a vote for the book we'll be reading two months from now. Please bring books that you think might be interesting for the group or that you've been hoping to read!

Folks that have the time are welcome to join for a social beverage at a nearby venue.

We are an inclusive group that welcomes everyone who identifies as feminist or is curious about feminism or at least wants to read feminist books.

For this month, we will be reading The Hundred Lies of Lizzie Lovett by Chelsea Sedoti.

Location: We will be in the back room of Wild Sister's Book Company.

Book description:
From bestselling author Chelsea Sedoti comes a comedic young adult mystery with "one of the most relatable characters in recent young adult literature" (Book Page), perfect for fans of John Green and Jandy Nelson. Hawthorn Creely's not one to get involved in other people's business. But a missing person's investigation? That's another matter…

Hawthorn wasn't trying to insert herself into a missing person's investigation. Or maybe she was. But that's only because Lizzie Lovett's disappearance is the one fascinating mystery their sleepy town has ever had. Bad things don't happen to popular girls like Lizzie Lovett, and Hawthorn is convinced she'll turn up at any moment―which means the time for speculation is now.

So Hawthorn comes up with her own theory for Lizzie's disappearance. A theory way too absurd to take seriously…at first. The more Hawthorn talks, the more she believes. And what better way to collect evidence than to immerse herself in Lizzie's life? Like getting a job at the diner where Lizzie worked and hanging out with Lizzie's boyfriend. After all, it's not as if he killed her―or did he?

Told with a unique voice that is both hilarious and heart-wrenching, Hawthorn's quest for proof may uncover the greatest truth is within herself.
