About this Event
Our new Sapphic Lit Book Club will be expansive: encompassing all genres and styles, united by a women-loving-women main character or story. The small group discussion will explore the way sapphic characters and stories are depicted throughout the genre. One month it could be horror, the next romance, the next non-fiction, so come open-minded to new styles of sapphic lit!
This month, we're reading Ribbonwood, by Ruby Landers.
Lara Bennett is world-famous in Ribbonwood, population 907. She's the woman you don't trust your husband with: a real-life femme fatale. If there's a scandal in town, she's at the center of it, ruining businesses, marriages, and egos everywhere she goes, with her sharp tongue and that body that makes you look twice. Besides... didn't she more or less K*ll a man?
Ollie Gabrielli left Ribbonwood right after high school, back when Lara was her arch-nemesis. The queen bee and the closeted soccer star: natural enemies. When she comes home for three months it's to recover from burnout and spend time with her chaotic family, not to reconnect with old classmates.
Only somehow, she can't seem to take her eyes off Lara. How did she only get hotter? And is she really everything they say she is? Sometimes, there's a reason you should never try to go home.
