17th Street Book Club - Fall 2025


17th Street Book Club - Fall 2025
Tis the Season… to Explore Family Dysfunction!
As the year winds down and we gather with our own wonderfully chaotic families, what better time to dive into stories that remind us—hey, it could be worse?
We’re ending the year with two compelling reads that unpack the tangled threads of Family Dynamics and Dysfunction, Class and Privilege, Identity and Self-Perception, and Trauma and Its Lingering Effects. These novels don’t just tell great stories—they offer rich, thought-provoking material for discussion, revealing how personal and societal forces collide to shape our lives.
These books will have you reflecting, cringing, and maybe even feeling a little better about your own family drama.
Trust us—after reading these, your family might not seem so bad after all.
Let the literary therapy begin!
