This month, we’re diving into a deeply moving and intimate story that explores identity, belonging, grief, and the quiet complexities of living authentically. Through the life and death of Vivek Oji, the novel invites us to reflect on the ways we see and fail to see one another, and how love, community, and misunderstanding can shape a person’s life.Our discussion will center on themes of self-discovery, chosen identity, and the courage it takes to exist outside of societal expectations. Together, we’ll explore how the novel challenges us to listen more closely, hold space more gently, and approach one another with greater empathy and care.There’ll be snacks, drinks, laughter, and the kind of discussion that makes you rethink, reflect, and maybe even heal a little.Come read, sip, snack, and chat your way into something special.We can’t wait to meet you.What to expect:Group reflections and open conversation on The Death of Vivek Oji.Snacks, drinks, and maybe a few new friendsA chance to share your thoughts or just listen and vibeWhy join?Because good books deserve great conversations.Because community doesn’t just happen, you build it.And because you probably need a reason to leave the house that isn’t groceries.
