QUEER PICK: Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield

$0.00 $20.00

COMING SPRING/SUMMER 2026

A book about loving someone you can’t reach anymore.

When a deep-sea mission goes wrong, a woman returns home changed—and her wife is left trying to understand what that means for their marriage. This isn’t really a horror novel. It’s about distance, caregiving, resentment, and the quiet ways relationships dissolve.

It’s restrained, unsettling, and emotionally precise. A book for readers who sit with discomfort instead of needing answers.

Come for the intimacy.
Stay for the hard conversations it makes unavoidable.

Club Rules

Come ready to engage

Read the book, skim it, or listen on the drive. Come ready to think, listen, and say something true.

Share the air

We want to hear from you and from everyone else. Talk, listen, and notice when it’s time to pass the mic.

Disagree with Care

Different takes are welcome. Respect is not optional. Argue with the ideas, not the person holding them.

No Book Shaming

Reading looks different for everyone. Skimming counts. Audiobooks count. Thoughtfulness counts most.

Be Present

Phones down when you can. Look up. Make eye contact. Stay for the conversation you came for.

Take Care of the Room

Be kind. Be curious. Leave people feeling glad they came.
