Join the Ottawa Social Girl Club Book Club this November as we dive into Dark Places, a chilling psychological thriller that unravels buried
About this Event

Looking for a read that’s dark, gripping, and impossible to put down?
This month, we’re diving into Dark Places by Gillian Flynn — a chilling psychological thriller that unravels long-buried family secrets, obsession, and the haunting pull of the past.

Libby Day was seven when her mother and sisters were murdered. She survived—and testified that her brother was the killer. Twenty-five years later, a true-crime group convinced of his innocence draws her back into the case, forcing her to uncover what really happened that night.

About the Book:
Dark Places explores themes of trauma, guilt, survival, and the ways memory can twist truth. It’s a gritty, atmospheric story that will keep you questioning everyone and everything until the final page.

📚 Trigger Warnings: Violence, child abuse, animal harm, sexual assault, substance abuse, trauma
📚 Genre: Psychological Thriller / Mystery / Crime Fiction
📚 Available at: Octopus Books (order in advance) or your local library

📌 Content Disclaimer:
This book contains dark and graphic themes. Please read mindfully and take breaks as needed. We’ll hold space during our discussion for anyone who wants to unpack heavier moments from the story.
