A book club and community for women and femmes
You know that feeling when you finish a book and immediately need to talk about it with someone who understands? Or when you’re reading three books at once and emotionally attached to all of them for different reasons? Or when you’ve developed very strong opinions about fictional men and need a safe place to express them? Yeah. This is for that.
Found Family Club is a space for women and femmes who love books, love talking about books, and want people in their life who match their energy when it comes to swapping fan theories and recommending new reads.
