Book discussions become coffee. Coffee becomes dinner. Somewhere between a used-book exchange, increasingly personal literary arguments, and the horrifying realization that she may have accidentally acquired friends, Claire discovers that solitude and independence aren't quite the same thing.And falling for Priya doesn't have to mean giving herself away.Claire fought hard for a life that belongs entirely to her.Now she has to decide whether choosing someone to share parts of it with might be another kind of freedom.I Am Not Joining Your Book Club is a warm, witty LGBTQ+ romantic comedy about unexpected community, inconvenient attraction, chosen family, and one woman discovering that letting people into your life doesn't mean giving up your place in it.
