Join other readers at the beautiful five-star Wequassett Resort for an afternoon of celebrating author Kate Russo!

August 15th | Grand Pavilion | Check-in Opens at 11:30 and the Program begins at 12pm.

The book is included with the ticket price, as is the buffet luncheon, coffee, dessert, tax, gratuities, and all related fees. Books will be available for pickup at the bookstore via your name between July 15th (publication day!) and the day before our event.

Because it is a bit like hosting a wedding, and final numbers are guaranteed to the venue in advance, tickets are non-refundable. We do, however, maintain a wait list and are happy to facilitate an exchange of tickets if you should find yourself unable to attend as the event approaches.

Event rooms are subject to change, based on the needs of the resort.

No need to print out a physical ticket unless you prefer to; we will welcome you to the event using the list of names, or Book Club names.

The specific Event Page has a form for submitting any questions or updates to make communication easier.

Thank you for your support of this incredible experience for our reading community as we celebrate the gripping academia narrative that is perfect for fans of Rebecca Makkai, Jessica Knoll, Celeste Ng, and Ellie Eaton.

  • About the Book

    The night Alison was murdered, Rachel could have stopped it.

    When Rachel Nardelli finds out Alison Petrucci—her childhood rival—is found dead in Pleasant Pond, the same place the two girls had first said goodbye to each other back in eighth grade, the town of Waterbury is outraged by the fear of losing one of their own—the heir to Maine’s largest construction company. But it’s a little more complicated for Rachel. She saw Alison the night she died. Callous, she said something she shouldn’t have. She stirred up the past. The next morning, Alison was gone.   

    Plagued by the complicated memories around Alison, Rachel joins her journalism crew to investigate the murder. But as she revisits their fraught relationship, she falls into a web of cruelties that threaten to undo everything she understood about her past. An explosive literary thriller from the acclaimed Kate Russo, Until Alison is a brilliantly incisive and resonant novel that is at once about class, gender, and the arbitrary nature of violence.
