Reese's Book Club: Sophie, Standing There

Thank you, Reese's Book Club, for your support! Connect with local book&boba lovers as we discuss RBC's October '26 Pick.

Want to be part of Reese's Book Club and all things bookish LA? Join the RBC Whatsapp groupchat! You'll be amongst fellow book lovers who share book recs, events, and more in Los Angeles.

------------------------------------------------------------

Although anyone and everyone is welcome to join a meeting, it is strongly encouraged to have completed the book beforehand, or at least 75% of it. With everyone being on the same page (haha!), members can freely discuss the book without spoiler warnings or taking time out of the discussion to explain the plot.

This event is held upstairs in a private area. Only ticketed persons are allowed upstairs for the duration of the event. No additional guests may be brought upstairs but are more than welcome to hang out on the ground floor.

If you can no longer attend the meeting, please update your RSVP so others may have the chance to join.

------------------------------------------------------------

Join our online Readalong on Storygraph! Share your reactions and reflections with fellow readers as you progress through the book.

Check out all of our Readalongs by joining our Storygraph Book Club.

Novels can be purchased through our online platforms

Bookshop (physical & e-books)

Librofm (audiobooks)

Sophie Pattison loves books. And as well as a dream job at a local book festival, she has a husband she adores, a lifelong best friend, Emma, and a brother she’s always been close to. Which makes you wonder why since Christmas Sophie has been living alone, estranged from Emma, avoiding her brother, and about to be fired.

Now it feels like the only thing she has left is reading. When Sophie re-discovers an author she first read in her twenties, the words on the page reach her in a new way—becoming both solace and company. Sophie devours every one of the author's novels and begins to dream of meeting her, but knows they never will. But what if she did? What if, by then, the author feels like a friend? What if, for Sophie, it feels almost like love?
