This month's selection: Beach Read, by Emily Henry.

The Sugar and Spice Book Club meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m., discussing romantic tropes, swoon-worthy scenes, and the nuances of "happily ever after." Each book club selection is available about a month ahead of time. Registration is not required, and you're welcome to check out the books whether or not you can attend the associated discussions.
