Book Giveaway: The Adults


Since July 2010, TNBBC has been bringing authors and readers together every month to get behind the book! This unique experience wouldn't be possible without the generous donations of the authors and publishers involved. 


TNBBC and author Alison Espach are thrilled to be working together
to bring you next month's Author/Reader Discussion.

In July, we will be hosting Alison and her novel


In order to stimulate discussion, 
Alison is offering up 6 copies, domestically.
(Sorry international folks)


 In her ruefully funny and wickedly perceptive debut novel, Alison Espach deftly dissects matters of the heart and captures the lives of children and adults as they come to terms with life, death, and love.At the center of this affluent suburban universe is Emily Vidal, a smart and snarky teenager, who gets involved in a suspect relationship with one of the adults after witnessing a suicide in her neighborhood.  Among the cast of unforgettable characters is Emily’s father, whose fiftieth birthday party has the adults descending upon the Vidal’s patio; her mother, who has orchestrated the elaborate party even though she and her husband are getting a divorce; and an assortment of eccentric neighbors, high school teachers, and teenagers who teem with anxiety and sexuality and an unbridled desire to be noticed, and ultimately loved.
An irresistible chronicle of a modern young woman’s struggle to grow up,The Adults lays bare—in perfect pitch—a world where an adult and a child can so dangerously be mistaken for the same exact thing.

This giveaway will run through June 9th.
Winners will be notified here and via email on June 10th.


Here's how to enter:

1 - Leave a comment stating why you would like to win a copy.


2 - State that you agree to participate in the group read book discussion that will run from July 15th through the end of the month. Alison Espach has agreed to participate in the discussion and will be available to answer any questions you may have for her.
