This bookclub book discussion is a little different than the past since this one is with my best friend.

We discuss the first half of the book, Quicksilver by Callie Hart from the beginning to chapter 20 but don't read chapter 20. Quicksilver part one opens a captivating world filled with alchemy, romance, and friendship that both entices and intrigues. We dive deep into themes of inequality, character dynamics, and our excitement for a film adaptation. 

Join us while we discuss all things Quicksilver
