Perrot P.I.s: “Never Have I Ever,” by Joshilyn Jackson
Join us on Thursday night, September 28, at 7 pm in the Youth Services Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library, for our discussion of Never Have I Ever, by Joshilyn Jackson.
Amy Whey is proud of her ordinary life and the simple pleasures that come with it–teaching diving lessons, baking cookies for new neighbors, helping her best friend, Charlotte, run their local book club. Her greatest joy is her family: her devoted professor husband, her spirited fifteen-year-old stepdaughter, her adorable infant son. And, of course, the steadfast and supportive Charlotte.
But Amy’s sweet, uncomplicated life begins to unravel when the mysterious and alluring Angelica Roux arrives on her doorstep one book club night. Sultry and magnetic, Roux beguiles the group with her feral charm. She keeps the wine flowing and lures them into a game of spilling secrets. Everyone thinks it’s naughty, harmless fun. Only Amy knows better. Something wicked has come her way–a she-devil in a pricey red sports car who seems to know the terrible truth about who she is and what she once did.
When they’re alone, Roux tells her that if she doesn’t give her what she asks for, what she deserves, she’s going to make Amy pay for her sins. One way or another. To protect herself and her family and save the life she’s built, Amy must beat the devil at her own clever game, matching wits with Roux in an escalating war of hidden pasts and unearthed secrets. Amy knows the consequences if she can’t beat Roux. What terrifies her is everything she could lose if she wins.

Sunday Morning Yoga @ Perrot
We had such a positive response to our Yoga on the Patio class this summer, that we’ve decided to offer a weekly yoga class for adults on Sunday mornings from 8 am to 9:15 am. The next class is Sunday, October 1. Sarah McCarty will be the instructor. The class will take place on our patio just outside the Youth Services Department as long as the weather permits. Once temperatures fall or in the case of rain or other inclement weather, the class will be held in the Youth Services Program Room, Radcliffe Children’s Library, Perrot Memorial Library.
You don’t have to attend each week, but you do need to register if you’re planning to attend. Class size is limited to 15 students.
Sarah McCarty is a RYT200 and certified reiki practitioner. This yoga class will encourage you to connect with yourself and totally engage with your body. Emphasis will be on clear healthy alignment in yoga poses as well as learning breath awareness and simple meditation techniques. There are no prerequisites (You don’t need to touch your toes!). The class is designed for every body and all levels to enjoy the stress relieving and strength-building benefits of yoga.
