19 Minutes was our first book club book. I think it was a great one to start with because of the relate-able subject matter. The discussion flowed like the wine;). There are so many topics within this book that people can easily grasp and feel passionate about. Also a good book for a personal exploration of high school and bullying. Our group was all under 30 so high school was in our somewhat-recent past. I think everyone can relate to 19 Minutes and at least one character in the book as either a student, bully, bullied-student, mom, etc.etc.
