Meet & Greet with Author Meg Marcus
2025-06-28 11:00 - 14:00 | Blue House Books, 5915 6th Avenue A, Kenosha, WI, 53142, United States
A spur-of-the-moment trip between old friends brings laughter, tears, and the wounds of the past to the surface in “Linger”, a fantastic women’s fiction novel of friendship and found family by Chicago author Meg Marcus.
Having spent so many years apart, will this time together strengthen the bond they built so many years ago, or will it reignite the decade-old hurt and send what was left of their friendship up in smoke?
Join Meg at Blue House Books on Saturday, June 28th from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. to chat about her latest novel and grab a signed copy from the author herself!
About LINGER:
Caught up in reminiscing, Mallory sends an invite out of the blue to her old high school friends for a reunion trip. This isn’t just any reunion trip, but a trip curated especially for Adventure Girl alumni.
Longing to relive the memories and sisterhood forged in their tenure as Adventure Girls, the ex-troop all agree to spend a week in California. Mallory, Katie, Tina, Christie, Mary, and CeCe venture out to the land of fun and sun to reconstruct the bond they thought had been lost in the years since they had seen each other last.
Soon, they begin to realize the wounds of the past run just as deep as their friendship, and Mallory fears that the trip has torn them too far open to ever repair.
Having spent so many years apart, will this time together strengthen the bond they built so many years ago, or will it reignite the decade-old hurt and send what was left of their friendship up in smoke?
About MEG MARCUS:
Meg is based in the Chicago area and recently published her debut novel! Her work reflects her interest in exploring relationships between people and finding meaning in the seemingly mundane. Writing as an art is like creating a mosaic: each piece has to be just the right shape, size, and color to come together as a beautiful big picture.
