With the spookiest time of the year officially upon us, we’re SO ready for all things scary. And while we’re obsessed with cozying up with a new thriller or throwing it back with a good ole vampire book to accompany our Halloween decor, this October we’re facing our real worst nightmare: high school gossip. Introducing our October Read Fierce book club pick, The Truth About Alice by Jennifer Mathieu. In all seriousness, The Truth About Alice is a realistic look at how innocent gossip, rumors, and slut-shaming can spiral out of control. They say that there are two sides to every story, but in this book there are four. So what’s the truth about Alice? Find out by joining us in reading Jennifer’s feminist debut all October long! And make sure to check out our reading schedule below, leading up to our live discussion with the author at the end of the month.
