A NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD FINALIST “The Alter sisters are mordant, wry, and crystalline in wit and vision; it is a tremendous pleasure to rocket through generations of their family histories with them.” —Lauren Groff, New York ...

So, this book we don't have much to say about, because of a tragic accident that happened between the two founders, one (Nick) accidentally perpetrating and the other (Melanie) unfortunately receiving that ended up with NUBClub at an emergency clinic for some healing. Nothing dire happened, but it did lead to a short-term injury and long-term shame on Nick's part. As for the book, we liked this sad and depressing story of three sisters considering suicide. The discussion was abbreviated, but the general consensus was that the writing was touching, but that the plot was a bit slow and the book just wasn't doing much to keep your spirits up. More detail will come when someone who witnessed the conversation weighs in.
