Book Club Confidential

By Julie Hatcher

Once upon a time, friends Tessa, Kate, and Hallie dreamed big. Now they're all that's left of a once-thriving book club, meeting weekly to drink wine, talk novels, and quietly wonder how their lives got so small.

Tessa, a lifelong people pleaser, excels at a corporate job she hates, while influencer Kate grows weary of chasing false perfection and true love. Meanwhile, independent Hallie drifts toward a wedding she never really wanted--nursing feelings she's too afraid to name.

But out of their growing regret comes a decisive pact: For one month, they'll make every choice boldly, like they're the protagonists of their own stories. The results are immediate, transformative...and chaotic. Careers stumble. Relationships fumble. Carefully crafted images start to crack.

It turns out, having agency is easier said than done. But with their friendship intact, they each come to grips with their new character arc--and discover what they'll risk to find their happy ending.
