Hello, bookish friends! It’s time to discuss the Chronically Iconic Book Club’s February Adult read: Always Only You by Chloe Liese.
Our discussion via group chat will take place starting today (February 26th) through Feb 28th.
I know this is a terrible, heart-breaking time and it’s challenging to think about anything else. I still hope we can honor #DisabilityJoy in this book and its message.
