April Book Club: Sharp Objects
2025-04-17 18:30 - 20:30
Now an HBO® Limited Series starting Amy Adams, nominated for 8 Emmy Awards, including “Outstanding Limited Series”
From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Gone Girl
The month’s book is Sharp Objects, by Gillian Flynn: Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, reporter Camille Preaker faces a troubling assignment: she must return to her tiny hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. For years, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed in her old bedroom in her family’s Victorian mansion, Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims—a bit too strongly. Dogged by her own demons, she must unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past if she wants to get the story—and survive this homecoming.

Ready to meet local singles face-to-face? Join us for a fun, low-pressure evening of meaningful connections! Purchase tickets here at EventBrite.

Note on Age Range: While this event is primarily focused on singles in the age range specified in the title, this is only a suggestion—not a strict requirement. If you’re slightly outside this range but feel you’d connect well with this group, you’re welcome to join! Our goal is to create well-balanced events where everyone can meet compatible matches.
How the Evening Unfolds
Casual Mixer Kickoff: The night starts with a relaxed mingle where you can grab a drink (not included, but encouraged) and ease into the atmosphere before the dating rounds begin.
Guided Conversations: Not great at starting conversations? No worries! We provide an icebreaker question each round, and our high-energy host keeps things flowing smoothly.
Perfect-Length Connections: You’ll have just enough time with each person to feel out their vibe before moving on to meet someone new—all in a positive, supportive, lighthearted, pressure-free atmosphere.
Simple Matching System: After each round, simply mark “friend,” “date,” or “none” on our easy matching system. Mutual matches receive contact info the next day!
