Young at Heart Book Club
Grief in the Fourth Dimension by Jennifer Yu
In life, high school classmates Caroline Davison and Kenny Zhou existed in separate universes—Caroline in one of softball practices and family dinners; Kenny in one of NASA photo books and late-night shifts at his parents’ Chinese restaurant. But after their deaths, they find themselves thrown together as roommates in a mysterious white room—one that seems to exist outside of time and space, shows them their loved ones’ lives on a large hi-def TV, and grants their wishes with a sardonic sense of humor. As Caroline and Kenny watch life continue to unfold back on Earth, they realize they can influence events through radio signals, psychic mediums, and electromagnetic interference. In their efforts to console their families, they also start to understand the tragic depth of how their lives and deaths were connected and how to help their families—and themselves—heal from the losses.

*The Young at Heart Book Club is the book club formerly known as Guilty Pleasures. Same premise, different branding!*
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 Young at Heart 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.
