Join us for Book Club!
Sidetrack Bookshop is a mission-driven bookstore, which means (in part) that we are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive space for people of all identities. In order to maintain our welcoming and inclusive space in the context of what we hope will be a lively and productive book club discussion, we have developed the following house rules.
By attending a book club meeting, you agree to the following:
- Share the floor: Be sure to let everyone talk and express their thoughts on the book. If you feel like you're talking a lot, you probably are! Invite others to speak.
- Be respectful: We'll no doubt have differing opinions. Seek to understand first, then to be understood. Check your privilege, and take special care with others who have lived experience differing from your own.
- Comments or behavior that demean a specific person, identity, or culture will not be tolerated.
Book club hosts will keep these house rules in mind and will redirect you or the conversation as a whole if we feel they aren't being honored. We also reserve the right to ask an attendee to leave if we feel they're contributing to an unwelcome space.
About the Book
Ten years of marriage. Ten years of secrets. And an anniversary they will never forget. Think you know the person you married? Think again.
Adam and Amelia both like their jobs more than they like people, except each other. At least, that much was true when their marriage began. Between Adam's all-consuming screenwriting career and Amelia's unfulfilling job at the local dog shelter, disappointment abounds.
When Amelia wins a free weekend getaway to a remote venue in the Scottish highlands, it seems like the perfect way to reconnect with Adam. But a trip meant to rekindle their relationship soon reveals the many ways in which a relationship can become unrecognizable. From Alice Feeney comes ROCK PAPER SCISSORS, another domestic thriller with twists that will keep readers guessing from start to finish.
