[close] Book Club for the Asians of Charleston

[close] Hi Fellow Book Readers, Welcome to the Sad Girls Book Club! This group is for readers who love books that leave them contemplating life and its complexities. If you enjoy stories with characters navigating through their life, often expressing all sort of complex emotion. Sometimes with a philosophical twist, you're in the right place. I am looking forward to find readers who share similar tastes and up for discussions about the books we love. Whether you're a fan of Asian literature, slice-of-life narratives, or introspective novels, I welcome you to join us.
