\"\"<\/a>Jenna Bush Hager has selected\u00a0The Celebrants<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Steven Rowley for her June pick.<\/p>\n

Curious what\u00a0The Celebrants<\/a> <\/strong><\/em><\/i><\/b>is about? Check out the following description provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a minute\u2014or five years\u2014since Jordan Vargas last saw his college friends, and twenty-eight years since their graduation when their adult lives officially began. Now Jordan, Jordy, Naomi, Craig, and Marielle find themselves at the brink of a new decade, with all the responsibilities of adulthood, yet no closer to having their lives figured out. Though not for a lack of trying. Over the years they\u2019ve reunited in Big Sur to honor a decades-old pact to throw each other living \u201cfunerals,\u201d celebrations to remind themselves that life is worth living\u2014that their lives mean something, to one another if not to themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n

But this reunion is different. They\u2019re not gathered as they were to bolster Marielle as her marriage crumbled, to lift Naomi after her parents died, or to intervene when Craig pleaded guilty to art fraud. This time, Jordan is sitting on a secret that will upend their pact.<\/em><\/p>\n

A deeply honest tribute to the growing pains of selfhood and the people who keep us going, coupled with Steven Rowley\u2019s signature humor and heart, The Celebrants is a moving tale about the false invincibility of youth and the beautiful ways in which friendship helps us celebrate our lives, even amid the deepest challenges of living.<\/em><\/p>\n

This book is also available as a Libby eBook and Libby eAudiobook.<\/p>\n

If you had the power to change the past\u2026where would you start?<\/em><\/p>\n

Cassandra Penelope Dankworth is a creature of habit. She likes what she likes (museums, jumpsuits, her boyfriend, Will) and strongly dislikes what she doesn’t (mess, change, her boss drinking out of her mug). Her life runs in a pleasing, predictable order\u2026until now.<\/em><\/p>\n
