Join Us for a Riveting May Book Club Meeting with "What Never Happened"

This May, immerse yourself in a tale of suspense and intrigue with our book club's latest pick, "What Never Happened" by Rachel Howzell Hall. A story that interlaces a haunting past with a chilling present, set on the picturesque yet mysterious Catalina Island.


About the Book:

In "What Never Happened", we follow Colette “Coco” Weber, who returns to her childhood home on Catalina Island, the site of a traumatic home invasion that left her as the sole survivor two decades earlier. Seeking solace and a fresh start, Coco’s plan to retreat into her obituary writing is derailed when she uncovers a series of unnaturally similar deaths among the island's elderly. The stakes rise when Coco receives a terrifying threat: her own obituary.


Why You Should Join:

  • Gripping Mystery: Engage with a storyline that deftly combines suspense, a deep personal journey, and a touch of the macabre.
  • Complex Characters: Delve into Coco's richly developed character as she confronts her haunted past and an uncertain future.
  • Captivating Plot Twists: Discover the intricate connections between a killer's crimes and Coco's own history, set against the unique backdrop of Catalina Island.


Event Highlights:

  • In-Depth Discussion: Explore themes of survival, the impact of the past on the present, and the mystery surrounding the island's deaths.
  • Interactive Dialogue: Share your perspectives and engage in lively discussions about the novel's twists and turns.
  • Community Connection: Connect with fellow book enthusiasts in a supportive and enriching environment.
