About:

Join us as we explore My Dark Vanessa, a powerful and deeply thought-provoking novel that sparks meaningful conversations about memory, identity, and the stories we tell ourselves.

Told across two timelines, the novel follows Vanessa as she reflects on a relationship with her former English teacher that shaped her teenage years and continues to impact her life as an adult. As past and present collide, she's forced to confront difficult questions about consent, power, and the truth behind her own experiences.

Raw, compelling, and impossible to forget, My Dark Vanessa is an emotional read that explores resilience, self-discovery, and the complexities of healing. It's a book that encourages thoughtful discussion and offers plenty to reflect on long after you've turned the final page. 📚✨

Come along for an evening of open conversation, shared perspectives, and connection with fellow book lovers. Whether this story challenged you, moved you, or left you with questions, we'd love to hear your thoughts in a welcoming and supportive space. 💛
