Social Engagement

I love this novel by Avery Carpenter Forrey. Social Engagement is about protagonist Callie and her experience navigating her late twenties in NYC, finding a fiancé and finding herself, with social media holding up a funhouse mirror all along. We also learn about Callie's childhood, college experiences and eating disorder, all against the backdrop of family secrets and drama. Carpenter Forrey weaves a delicious, unique tale, including many witticisms.

I had the pleasure of meeting the author at a recent book event in town. She was an absolute doll and took the time to chat and give me advice. I wish her continued success and excellent book karma. It's well-deserved!
