About:

Join us as we dive into Big Swiss by Jen Beagin, a brilliantly quirky, darkly funny and unconventional story about love, identity, obsession and the wonderfully messy side of being human. 📚✨

Meet Greta, a transcriptionist who spends her days listening to recordings of other people's therapy sessions. When she becomes fascinated by one particular client, whom she nicknames "Big Swiss", things take an unexpected turn after the two cross paths in real life. What follows is a complicated, chaotic and surprisingly heartfelt story about connection, secrets and the blurred lines between who we are and who we pretend to be.

Bold, witty and full of unexpected moments, Big Swiss explores relationships, vulnerability, trauma and the strange ways we find ourselves drawn to others. It's the perfect pick for readers who love complex characters, unconventional romances and a story that gives you plenty to talk about! 💌

Join us at Hello Stranger for an evening of great conversation, shared perspectives and connecting with fellow book lovers. We'd love to hear your thoughts on Greta's questionable decisions, the characters you loved (or loved to hate!), and all the moments that had you laughing, cringing or completely speechless. 💛
