Bonding over their recent job losses and their love of the silver screen, highly strung Katherine, odd Alice, stressed-out Lisa, dishonest Jamie, and emotional Martin decide to meet once a month to watch and discuss their favorite classic films. Spirits rise and friendships form over the course of a year as each group member embarks on a personal journey—reflected in part through the films chosen for their monthly meetings. Film plots bolster a witty and light narrative in this blend of soul-searching and escapism, weaving a story of unlikely friendships, unexpected change, coming to terms with the past, and bravely facing the future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Books Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47053410468080,"sku":"9781444742923","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781444742923_p0.jpg?v=1763814195","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781444742923","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
