*NEW*🔥📚 A Book Club For Curious Minds

💌 JOIN our NEW SUBSTACK to read ALL the book summaries 📕👇

https://rubyrossini.substack.com/

If you have not yet read the book, you are still very welcome to join us. However, in the case of reading a novel, reading it beforehand is strongly encouraged — both to deepen your own experience and to enrich the conversation for others.

Regardless of whether you have read the book, take the time to go through the summary ( it will be published on Substack a few days before our event ) - it will help to ground the conversation on an even level for everyone on Saturday. It is not AI-written - I write all summaries & think pieces myself, and I aim to make them as in-depth as I possibly can.

For Announcements

Join our WhatsApp Group. I will announce here any new events and share the summary for those who are not on Substack: https://chat.whatsapp.com/G011Ugv9bah08PYlcQFJ4m

( This is the announcement group only - ONLY once you have attended the event, you'll be able to join the other group, which is for the community)

⛔️ No Show

Don't be a 💩. Our waitlist is usually chunky. If you can’t make it, change your RSVP, it only takes a second. Two consecutive no-shows and you will be removed from future signups.

Book of the Month

In our last chapter, we followed Masha and Sergey through the various stages of romantic life: infatuation, projection, disillusionment, and, perhaps, acceptance. Family Happiness leaves us with an unsettling question: does Sergey abandon hope, abandon self-deception, or, more simply, has he learned to avoid one of the deepest wounds available to us: rejection?

Few experiences wound us more deeply than being rejected by someone whose attention, admiration, or love we desire. And so, we leap from nineteenth-century Russia to the chronically online loneliness of the twenty-first century with Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte.
