May Book Club

May Book Discussion "The Last Flight" May 11 at 5:00 pm

Come discuss May's book, "The Last Flight", on May 11th at the library's monthly book discussion!

The book club will be held here at the Coy Public Library, Thursday, May 11 from 5:00pm-6:30pm.

This month's book is "The Last Flight", written by Julie Clark. You can request this item through our digital catalog, or by calling the library at 717-532-4508.

"Fans of Lisa Jewell and Liv Constantine will love The Last Flight, a novel focusing on two women who meet in an airport, both alone, both scared, and both urgently needing an escape from their lives. Claire Cook has a husband whose temper burns as bright as his promising political career, and she has worked for months on a plan to get out. A chance meeting in an airport bar brings her together with a stranger equally as desperate. Together they hatch a plan to switch tickets - Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. But then one plane crashes, and it's clear that one of them wasn't telling the truth."
