We humans are a force of nature. At the same time human activities alter the basic elements of life – earth, air, water, and fire – those elements change human life.

The Celebrants by Steven Rowley
Â
"The author of the hit summer novel "The Guncle" returns in time for Pride Month in June with a heartfelt riff on The Big Chill. Five college friends made a pact to gather and celebrate each other in times of crisis. 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. And this time, Jordan is sitting on a secret that will upend their pact. This book is featured on tons of Most Anticipated lists and is Today's book club pick for June."--Brett, Main Library
