Sin and Redemption
Want to discuss great books with like-minded friends in Toronto?
Having our chapter located in a city like Toronto means there's always a mix of current and new members joining each month at the Duke of York pub. Although we have many attendees at each meeting and our book discussions are lively, there is always opportunities to get to know people on a more personal level!
What we are reading...
The Favorites by Layne Fargo
She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.
Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.
As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public fascination with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.

Hi is the meeting this month virtual or in person? I’m really enjoying this month selection. Also last month tried to sign up for the virtual meeting but I didnt get the link even though I paid.
Hi Alina, I’ll email you!
Hi, I had the same question. Was looking to try the chapter this month before registering for full subscription…is there a meeting planned?
Sorry Tanya! The event is now up. Hope you can join us.
I just bought the Gloss Membership pass but every time I try to select that I want to attend an event and try to verify my membership it takes me to the page to buy a membership? I am already logged in 🤔
hello I bought a ticket for the may book club but I most likely won’t be able to make it. Can I get reimbursed or use it as a prepaid event to attend the July book club event instead
Hello! If you could please send me an email at amanda@theglossbookclub.com, I can book you in for July’s event!
