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.

About the book
What we are reading in November: The Man I Never Met by Elle Cook
Is it possible to love someone you’ve never met? A young woman finds out in this sweeping will-they-or-won’t-they love story that begins with a chance wrong number dial. . . .
When Hannah picks up a call from an unknown number, she thinks nothing of it–it’s just an easygoing American named Davey who misdialed her while calling into a job interview. And when Hannah wishes him luck after clearing up the confusion, she never actually expects to hear from him again.
Then she gets a text saying he got the job and he’ll be moving to London, and she can’t help but smile. Soon their texts become phone calls that turn into video calls, and their friendship becomes a relationship they can’t wait to start in earnest once Davey lands in London in a month’s time.
But when Hannah goes to meet him at the airport, Davey isn’t there–and the reason why changes both of their lives in an instant. With their future together suddenly so uncertain, they don’t know what to do but try to move on from each other.
Though their chance at love seems lost forever, neither is never far from the other’s thoughts. Will fate intervene once more to bring the two together, or will Davey always be the man that Hannah never met?

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!
