About us
Hi! We are Stacy and Makenzy, two work friends who want to read, eat snacks, drink good cocktails, and meet friends in the Ypsi/Ann Arbor area. This book club is open to women in their 30s and 40s, and meets on the last Tuesday of the month. In addition to book club, we'll try to plan some fun things throughout the month as well. Happy reading, and we can't wait to meet you!

May Book Club: Spectacular Things
arbor brewing company, 720 Norris St., Ypsilanti, MI, USMay's book club pick is Spectacular Things by Beck Dorey-Stein
About the book: What would you give up for the person you love most? What would you expect in return?
Mia and Cricket have always been close. The gifted daughters of a young single mother, the “Lowe girls” are well-known in the small Maine town they call home. Each sister has a role to fill: The responsible and academically minded Mia assumes the position of caregiver far too young, while Cricket, a bouncing ball of energy and talent, seems born for soccer stardom. But the cost of achieving athletic greatness comes at a steep price.
As Mia and Cricket grow up, they must grapple with the legacy of their mother’s secret past while navigating their own precarious future. Can Mia allow herself to fall in love at the risk of repeating a terrible history? Will Cricket’s relentless chase of a lifelong goal drive her sister away? When does loyalty become self-sabotage?
A sharply observed and tender portrait of sisters, love, and ambition, Spectacular Things is a sweeping story about the impossible choices we’re forced to make in pursuit of our dreams.
