Pull up a chair, settle in at our welcoming big table, and join us for Yarn Shop Book Club — where literary discussion meets extremely justifiable knitting time.
Led by our own Arlene, who knows how to guide a lively conversation and appreciate a well-timed “hang on, I just need to finish this row,” this gathering is perfect for readers who like their books discussed alongside yarn, laughter, and a little creative multitasking.
This month we’re reading The World After Alice by Lauren Aliza Green — the story of a woman who takes a spontaneous break from her everyday life and discovers what happens when she finally puts herself first. It’s thoughtful, funny, relatable, and guaranteed to spark conversation as stitches quietly multiply around the table.
Bring your knitting, crochet, or any portable fiber project — stitching during discussion isn’t just allowed, it’s practically tradition. Expect good conversation, shared opinions, gentle laughter, and the comforting rhythm of needles clicking as ideas (and projects) take shape together.
Because the best discussions happen when everyone’s hands are busy.
Discussion takes place: Monday, April 27th, from 11 am- 12pm.
Cost includes the book and your seat around the table!
Book summary:
When Morgan and Benji surprise their families with a wedding invitation to Maine, they’re aware the news of their clandestine relationship will come as a shock. Twelve years have passed since the stunning loss of sixteen-year-old Alice, Benji’s sister and Morgan’s best friend, and no one is quite the same. But the young couple decide to plunge headlong into matrimony, marking the first time their fractured families will reunite since Alice’s funeral.
As the arriving guests descend upon the tranquil coastal town, they bring with them not only skepticism about the impromptu nuptials but also deep-seated secrets and agendas of their own. Peter, Morgan’s father, may be trying to dissuade his daughter from saying “I do,” while Linnie, Benji’s mother, introduces a boyfriend who bears a tumultuous past of his own. Nick, Benji’s father, is scheming to secure a new job before his wife—formerly his mistress—discovers he’s lost his old one. Morgan, too, carries delicate secrets that threaten to jeopardize the happiness for which she has so longed. And as for Benji—well, he’s just trying to make sure the whole weekend doesn’t implode.
As the whirlwind weekend unfolds, old passions reignite, deep wounds resurface, and unearthed secrets threaten to shatter the fragile peace the wedding promises. With each new revelation, the to-be-weds and their complicated families are forced to question just how well they know the ones they hold dear.
