For the Month of August, the HSL Book Group will discuss All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg.

Told in gut-wrenchingly honest, mordantly comic vignettes, this novel is an examination of Andrea, 39, an unapologetically single childfree woman living on her own terms. Everyone around her seems to have an entirely different idea of what it means to be an adult, but when Andrea’s niece is born with a heartbreaking ailment, her family is forced to reexamine what really matters.

The HSL Book Group meets on the third Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Language, Literature, and History Section. New members are always welcome. No registration necessary. Inquiries about the Hawaii State Library Book Group can be directed to hslbookgroup@gmail.com or (808) 586-3499.

If you need an auxiliary aid/service or other accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days prior to the program date. We will make every attempt to fulfill all requests for accommodations. All programs are subject to change. For a list of upcoming library events, visit test-library.ehawaii.gov/events
