Dorks.

While enjoying my Saturday night with some of my sweetest girlfriends we seemed to have matured. We adored the new bathroom color, talked about our significant others, running & books. We decided since we do not see each other enough & we are all reading we would start a book club. We have scheduled November 1st as our first book club meeting to discuss “I see you everywhere” by Julia Glass. The more the merrier; therefore, if you are interested, please join. I am going to get the book tomorrow & very excited to start reading.

Charlestown CP BOOK REVIEW is below:

The novel begins, and ends, from the perspective of Louisa, the eldest. From an upper crust Rhode Island family, Louisa is predictably predictable, responsible, and cautious. It's 1980 and she's made the uncharacteristic mistake of following a man out to California, where she is promptly dumped. In the wake of a dowager aunt's death, Louisa flies to Vermont to claim a beloved piece of jewelry and spend some awkward time with her younger sister, Clem.

Clem is, of course, the wild child. She's spent the last few months living with Aunt Lucy, bringing a little spice to the old woman's last days on Earth. Clem is the favorite, a little rebellious, popular with men, and a one-time boyfriend stealer (though she professes ignorance). Her animal biologist career begins with volunteering at a clinic for injured raptors.

Each chapter switches between the sisters' very different perspectives, progressing slowly over 25 years. Their unique personalities are often strikingly at odds, but they also share similarities that even they are unaware of — their jealousies, ambitions, and their frequent thoughts of one another.

Subject to both perspectives, we see that their regular misunderstandings are sometimes painfully trivial. What ensues is a vivid portrait of both characters as well as their intensely complex relationship.
