The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls

Set against the backdrop of a reluctant mother-daughter book club, the story follows Adrienne Haus and her fellow members—CeeCee, Jill, and Wallis—as they navigate the challenges of summer reading while feeling like literary captives. Each girl has her own reasons for joining, from parental pressure to personal setbacks. As they tackle classic literature and bond over shared frustrations, a dark twist looms, hinting at a catastrophe that leaves one member dead. Adrienne reflects on these experiences in an essay for her A.P. English class.
