Online: Beyond the Pages Online Book Club

Please join Avondale Library Adult Department’s online book club, Beyond the Pages, as we individually read an e-book selection from Hoopla and then discuss it together via Zoom.

June's pick, The Before Now and After Then by Peter Monn, is part of our five-week series honoring Pride Month and the LGBTQ community.

Book Synopsis:

"Danny Goldstein has always lived in the shadow of his identical, twin brother Sam. But when a hurricane of events forces him into the spotlight, he starts to realize that the only thing he's truly afraid of is himself. With the help of his costume changing friend Cher, a famous gay uncle with a mysterious past of his own, two aging punk rocker parents and Rusty, the boy who will become his something to live for, Danny begins to realize that the music of the heart is truly the soundtrack for living."
