Guilty Pleasures Book Club: Burn Our Bodies Down
Guilty Pleasures Book Club
Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power
It's always just been Margot and her mother, struggling to get along. But Margot wants more. She wants family. She wants a past. And she may have just found a clue: an old photograph of her mother's, pointing Margot to a town called Phalene.
Yet when Margot gets there, she feels it in her gut—there's something not right about Phalene. The towering fields of dying corn, odd looks from the locals . . . Then a mysterious girl who could be Margot's twin is pulled from a fire, and Margot realizes that her mother left this town for a reason. But was it to hide her past? Or to protect Margot from what's still here?
The only thing Margot knows for sure is there's poison in her family tree, and its roots are dug so deeply into Phalene that now that she's here, she might never escape.

Are you:
• An adult who enjoys reading Young Adult novels?
• A parent who would like some “me time” to socialize with other adults while discussing a digestible book?
• A parent, guardian, or mentor who wants to keep in touch with what their kids are reading (or even find some recommendations)?
Join us the 2nd Wednesday of each month for the Guilty Pleasures Book Club, where we will meet in a relaxed environment to chat and discuss a different YA book. This is a low-pressure, judgement-free book club where we encourage reading what YOU want.
Books are available at the library and we will try to pick titles available in e-book/audiobook through CloudLibrary.
