CHOSEN PRESENTS: The Sapphic Bookclub

Welcome to The Sapphic Book Club!! 📚🌈

Each month we will read a new book from a sapphic author or with sapphic characters / storyline! Then we all come together for a discussion at Lion's Tooth led by the amazing Amelia! (@amelias_sapphic_library on insta).

At this meeting, we will be discussing the book: Wish You Weren’t Here by Erin Baldwin

————————

About the book: Juliette doesn't hate Priya Pendley. At least, not in the way teen movies say she should hate the hot popular girl. They don't do cat fights, love triangles, or betrayal. To survive their intertwined small town lives, they agree to a truce: complete group projects without fighting, don’t gossip to mutual friends, and stand on opposite sides of photos so it’s easy to crop each other out.

Priya seems to have everything during the school year—social media stardom, the handsome track captain boyfriend, and millions of adoring fans. And Juliette is at peace with that, because she has Fogridge Sleepaway Camp, the one place she never feels like “too much.”

But Juliette’s dreams of five Priya-free weeks in paradise are shattered when her rival shows up on move-in day... as her cabinmate, no less. Juliette is determined to enjoy her final summer at camp, even if it means (gag) tolerating Priya Pendley, but fate seems to have other plans.

If Juliette can’t find something to like about her situation—and about Priya—she risks hating the only home she’s ever had, right before she says goodbye to it forever.
