Description :

You are invited to join us for our Over the Rainbow Book Group which meets in the Ellsworth Room on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM unless otherwise noted. This Adult book group will explore works of both fiction and nonfiction written by LGBTQ+ authors or with LGBTQ+ themes. Copies of the titles to be discussed will be available at the Circulation Desk at least one month prior to each meeting. If you prefer, you can place your own hold and request to pick up your copy at the library of your choosing. This month we will be discussing Some Girls Do by Jennifer Duggan Summary: Morgan, an elite track athlete, is forced to transfer high schools late in her senior year after it turns out being queer is against her private Catholic school's code of conduct. There, she meets Ruby, who has two hobbies: tinkering with her baby blue 1970 Ford Torino and competing in local beauty pageants, the latter to live out the dreams of her overbearing mother. The two are drawn to each other and can't deny their growing feelings. But while Morgan--out and proud, and determined to have a fresh start--doesn't want to have to keep their budding relationship a secret, Ruby isn't ready to come out yet. With each girl on a different path toward living her truth, can they go the distance together? [provided by the publisher].
