Zibby’s Book Club – Discussing THE SOCIETY OF SHAME!

August 9, 2023 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Zibby’s Book Club is meeting to discuss THE SOCIETY OF SHAME by Jane Roper at Zibby’s Bookshop, 1113 Montana Ave, Santa Monica CA, 90403!

We’re meeting in person to discuss THE SOCIETY OF SHAME by Jane Roper! No need to bring anything – just stop by and we’ll discuss the book!

About THE SOCIETY OF SHAME:

Kathleen Held’s life is turned upside down when she arrives home to find her house on fire and her husband on the front lawn in his underwear. But the scandal that emerges is not that Bill, who’s running for Senate, is having a painfully cliched affair with one of his young staffers: it’s that the eyewitness photographing the scene accidentally captures a period stain on the back of Kathleen’s pants.

Overnight, Kathleen finds herself the unwitting figurehead for a social media-centered women’s right movement, #YesWeBleed. Humiliated, Kathleen desperately seeks a way to hide from the spotlight. But when she stumbles upon the Society of Shame—led by the infamous author Danica Bellevue—Kathleen finds herself part of a group who are all working to change their lives after their own scandals. Using the teachings of the society, Kathleen channels her newfound fame as a means to reap the benefits of her humiliation and reclaim herself. But as she ascends to celebrity status, Kathleen’s growing obsession with maintaining her popularity online threatens her most important relationship IRL: that with her budding activist daughter, Aggie.
