About this Event

Love, heartbreak, and feeling all the things with no regrets! Join us for our Eras Book Club for Teens on Friday, January 31 at 7pm, where we will discuss Liara Tamani’s acclaimed YA novel, (ages 12+), in conjunction with TaylorSwift’s Red album. This book club is designed for teens, though parents are welcome to stay (please purchase a ticket for each person attending). Along with a discussion of the book, we will make song lyric connections and craft friendship bracelets! Tickets are $5 (to cover the cost of the bracelet materials). Mention the book club at checkout for 10% off the book!


About the book…

“Tamani masterfully bounces and slams two hearts up and down a shrouded court of first love and revelations.”—Rita Williams-Garcia, National Book Award Finalist and New York Times-bestselling author

“A superb, complex romance full of heart, humor, and unforgettable characters.”—Kirkus (starred review)

A glance was all it took. That kind of connection, the immediate and raw understanding of another person, just doesn't come along very often. And as rising stars on their Texas high schools' respective basketball teams, destined for bright futures in college and beyond, it seems like a match made in heaven. But Carli and Rex have secrets. As do their families.

Liara Tamani, the author of the acclaimed Calling My Name, follows two teenagers as they discover how first love, heartbreak, betrayal, and family can shape you—for better or for worse. A novel full of pain, joy, healing, and hope for fans of Elizabeth Acevedo, Jacqueline Woodson, and Jenny Han.

“A beautifully poignant love letter: to a first love, to basketball, and to that enigmatic bunch we think we know best, only to discover we don't know at all—family. Tamani's latest is a bright shining star.”—David Arnold, New York Times-bestselling author of Mosquitoland

As with all of our book clubs, mention the club when you buy the book at Old Town Books and get 10% off.
