Fiction on the Fringe: Lunchtime Edition: Shred Sisters

Join us for the monthly Fiction on the Fringe Book Club (formerly Fiction Addiction) as we discuss Shred Sisters by Betsy Lerner. Spanning two decades, this intimate and bittersweet novel explores the fierce complexities of sisterhood, mental health, loss, and love. For all that threatens their bond, Amy and Ollie Shred remain bound by the inextricable ties of sisterhood. Read the Kirkus Book Review from Oct. 1, 2024 for more background.

Bring your thoughts and interpretations for a lively conversation—everyone is welcome! Light refreshments will be served. Feel free to bring your own lunch and join us for a literary chat.
