Happy First Friday! It's time for this month's book club pick for You Gotta Read This!

This month we're reading The River is Waiting by Wally Lamb. It's a heartbreaking novel about love, addiction, and perseverance. Just out this spring, it's a strong contender for a 2025 Kathy Award! :)

You can find it in our Bookshop, along with all the other books we've ever recommended on the show. It's a great way to support local bookstores, and we get a small commission for all books purchased through the site.
