The Gloss is a global book club for likeminded women to discuss great books! All members of the book club read the same book over the same period; members then meet up in their respective cities at the end of each month to discuss the book and exchange views. You can catch us right here in Kansas City the last Wednesday of every month at 7pm for good books, local eats, and great company!

What we are reading...

Story of my Life by Lucy Score

When rom-com author Hazel Hart’s marriage implodes and her publisher threatens to drop her if she misses one more deadline, she does what any self-respecting writer would do: she buys a crumbling mansion in a small Pennsylvania town she’s never visited, sight unseen.

Story Lake is not what she pictured. The house is a disaster, the locals are suspicious of city folk, and the contractor sent to fix the place, Campbell Bishop, is allergic to small talk. But something unexpected happens when Hazel trades her Upper East Side life for a town that’s seen better days: she starts writing again, the community starts to feel like home, and the grumpy contractor turns out to be more interesting than he first appears.

Lucy Score’s Story of My Life is a deeply fun, warm-hearted read about starting over, finding your people, and discovering that the best chapters of your life might begin exactly where you least expected. Perfect for anyone who has ever needed a complete reset and found one in the most unlikely place.

    Hi I’m looking forward to joining as my daughter has joined the chapter in New Zealand.

    I am a new author and am interested in sharing my story as a federal government Whistleblower, which I documented in my book, Digital Assassins. Please let me know what I would need to do to interest your organization in promoting my book by considering it for one of your sessions or displaying my press release flyer.

    Thank you!
