We are so excited about the release of Remain and we want to encourage you and your book club besties to go all in on this brand new book from the brilliant minds of Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan. A supernatural love story—perfect for fall—, two beloved storytellers and now, a no-stress book club plan to not only make your book club fun, but easy to host!
We’re providing a menu of food and drinks (New England inspired, of course), discussion questions, a fun roundup of suggestions for a craft inspired by this ghostly tale and even a playlist to enjoy during your get-together.
From songs pulled directly from previous Nicholas Sparks adaptations to ballads about love and loss to some New England-born artists, we’ve rounded up some songs that will provide the perfect background noise to enjoy this book club gathering.
