By Popular Demand – Our Next Book Club Pick Is…

Our last Young Adult Cancer Book Club pick was The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. We heard so many of you share how charmed you were by the characters and how the book felt like a warm hug, and we wanted to create a similar experience for you.

Without further ado, our next book club selection will be TJ Klune’s Under the Whispering Door!

*Content warning: there is an Author’s Note that discloses the following: “This story explores life and love as well as loss and grief. There are discussions of death in different forms- quiet, unexpected, and death by suicide. Please read with care.”*

To snag your free copy of the book, sign up here! Please note that in exchange for a copy of the book, we ask that you share your thoughts on an assigned section of text here on our blog in the comments section.
