Since this is an 18+ adult class, I run class with me being more of a facilitator and club member, allowing the class to flow organically. The goal of the class is to forge friendships around a central enjoyment of literature. 

Learners will have access to speak with me during the entirety of the club time.
Learning Goals
Themes of love, loss, and identity throughout the novels.
Identifying healthy relationships versus unhealthy relationships.
