Book Club + Potluck - Next Year For Sure by Zoey Leigh Peterson

This month's book club pick is Next Year For Sure by Zoey Leigh Peterson!

"Never exploitative or sensationalizing, Next Year, For Sure is a lively yet sensitive novel that examines both the possibilities and struggles inherent to loving beyond typical constraints. While Zoey Leigh Peterson certainly doesn't gloss over any challenges when it comes to polyamory, she does ask readers to confront their own beliefs, biases and judgments, which, after all, is exactly what great and relevant literature should do. Peterson's debut novel invites readers to examine what a couple can potentially face when they make the decision to open up their relationship, and their lives, to another love.

...With this energetic, fast-paced debut, the author has taken an empathetic and open-minded look at a couple who have made the conscious decision to define relationships outside the dictated status quo. It is a thoughtful, warm meditation on what it means to love, querying our widespread cultural reluctance to expand our definitions beyond traditional narratives and typical pairings."
