Scenario

When your book club becomes a place to hide from real connection

Our book club started as a way for our friend group to stay connected but it's become this weird space where we're all performing intellectual versions of ourselves and avoiding the real conversations about what's actually falling apart in our lives. Three of us are going through divorces and we're discussing novels instead of reality.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
