Off the Hook Mill Bay
Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Mill Bay?
The concept is simple. We’re 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.
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 there. I’m new to town and would love to attend this book club. I hope it’s ok for new members to attend at any time!
Hi Claire,
Would love to have you join us! We are small and growing. Sorry for the delay in responding but it seems there were a couple of website issues and I just saw this. Our Dec meeting is on the 20th (unless the weather doesn’t cooperate – I’ll post on this site) so please come and meet us even if you haven’t read the book. Jan meeting is on the 31st.
Dec meeting moved to the 27th, same place same time, due to all the snow ❄️
I just signed up! See you on the 28th!
Hi all, our weather has been interesting this year! Due to snow and road conditions I’m cancelling the meeting for tonight. Stay tuned for the new date (should be next week). If you have a membership don’t forget that you can meet the author at 7pm EST/4 pm PST today – go to the main page of The Gloss and scroll down to see the information and register. Stay warm! Jodi
I’m interested in checking this out. How does it work? Do I just show up on May 30? I’m kind of a slow reader so I may not be done the book 😉
Hello! If you click on an event above you can RSVP for it! No problem if you don’t finish the book.
Would love to have you join us even if you haven’t finished the book! As we meet at The Mill most of us grab supper along with tea, water or a glass of wine and chat about the book 📖 and a little about life!
Hi there,
I’ve been wanting to find a Book Club and meet some people. Moved to the Island a few years ago – but still haven’t really connected with people. Do you have room in your Book Club for 1 more person? I will try my best to get this month’s book read by the 24th. Let me know!
Thanks so much!
