A quiet suburban family with a powerful secret at its core, The Radleys by Matt Haig explores what it means to hide parts of ourselves in order to fit in.

A reflective and atmospheric novel exploring family secrets, shifting timelines, and the echoes of the past. In February, our Books and Bakes group discussed The Midnight Hour by Eve Chase, sparking thoughtful conversation about memory, perspective, and storytelling.
