One of our promises upon the launch of The Everygirl Book Club was to deliver a wide range of books so you can discover your next five-star read. Well, dear readers, I wouldn’t be surprised if our next pick claims your “favorite book of 2026” title only in the second month of the year. After reading The Compound in January, we wanted to do a complete 180 from the dystopian, suspenseful thriller (even though we ate up every page). And when I saw that The Future Saints was being advertised as the perfect book for fans of Daisy Jones & the Six, I knew it was the one for the Everygirls.
Not only was I completely sucked in just by the summary of the book (I could read a hundred books about fictional indie rock band drama), but with themes of sisterhood (the Everygirl reader and eldest daughter Venn diagram is practically a circle), loss, grief, and friendship, I knew there would be plenty to sink our teeth into and discuss as a club. The book also just released, so when it’s inevitably nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award at the end of the year, you can brag to your friends that you were one of the first fans. Here’s everything else you need to know about The Everygirl Book Club this month:
What is The Everygirl Book Club?
The Everygirl has been recommending and reviewing books for years, delivering our unfiltered opinions on what’s worth your time—from the buzzy books TikTok can’t shut up about to debut authors you have to know. After years of connecting with our readers through a shared love of books, we were craving a space where we could hear more directly from you and, instead of just telling you what we’re reading, actually read together. So, welcome to our cozy corner of the internet, where you’ll still find all the relatable, informational, and fun content you know and love from The Everygirl, but now we get to talk exclusively about our favorite things… books.
The Everygirl Book Club is a monthly book club with a reading pick (carefully vetted and chosen by yours truly), which we’ll all read together, chitchatting in our BFF Group while we binge, culminating in our monthly live book club discussion. Between meetings, you can also look forward to plenty of book recommendations and hilariously relatable bookish content (not to toot our own horn).
More than anything, The Everygirl Book Club is a community by readers, for readers. Whether your 2026 resolution is to read just one book or you need more people to send the hundreds of BookTok videos your friends are sick of you forwarding, The Everygirl Book Club is here for you. It’s not just a sticker on the cover of a book—it’s a place to make real connections with like-minded women. But yes, we do have adorable stickers, too.
Meet Our Book Club Hosts
If you’re ever scrolling our Entertainment section or pursuing the book club Instagram, wondering who is behind all this fabulous content…hi! It’s us! As two people whose Slack messages are pretty much exclusively rants about the books we’re reading, we’re absolutely thrilled to bring that same energy to The Everygirl Book Club. You’ll definitely see our faces all over social media, and we can’t wait to connect in real time during our monthly meetings, but until then, here’s a little bit about us:
Garri Chaverst, Senior Managing Editor
Garri, fearless leader of The Everygirl editorial team, is our resident fantasy expert. If you’ve ever stalked her on Goodreads, you may notice she’s reading seven books at once. As a mood reader who won’t hesitate to DNF a book if the vibes are even slightly off, this is entirely her prerogative. She’ll start a few books until one becomes so engrossing she simply forgets the others exist. Past books that have been able to do just that include anything by Ali Hazelwood, The Unmaking of June Farrow, The Second Death of Locke, and Throne of Glass. She primarily reads on her Kindle, often while her absolutely adorable baby naps in her other arm.
Lauren Blue, Assistant Editor
Lauren’s preferred genre is sad-girl lit fic books whose haters will accuse of having absolutely no plot. Who needs a plot when you have impeccable character development, people? When she’s not reading about two characters who are hopelessly in love but have zero communication skills, she loves a moody psychological thriller with a plot twist or a dark academia fantasy. Don’t worry, though—she still absolutely eats up a romance or romantasy moment here and there. She worships the ground Sally Rooney walks on (quotation marks be damned!), has a newfound obsession with Nathan Hill books, and, like every other girl on the internet, will never miss an Emily Henry release. Her favorite books of all time are the Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante, but she’s always on the quest for a new number one.
Our February Book Club Pick: The Future Saints
For fans of Daisy Jones and the Six and In Five Years—a powerful and transportive new novel about a music executive desperately trying to bring a rock band back from the brink, from bestselling author Ashley Winstead.
Our February Book Club selection, The Future Saints, is for the girls who find themselves scouring Reddit threads and TikTok deep dives to learn the gritty details behind every band’s rise to fame and subsequent devastating breakup. The book is so much more than a love story, and while reading, you’ll have to constantly remind yourself that the characters aren’t real—and The Saints aren’t a real band (though I desperately wish I had an album to listen to). The book opens with the California pop band The Future Saints on the brink of destruction after the death of their manager. Record executive and their new manager, Theo, is sent in by the label to get one last album out of them, or they will be dropped for good. But when the lead singer, Hannah, impulsively plays a completely new sound at a show, a viral video thrusts them into the spotlight as fans identify with the gut-wrenching rock sound.
Theo’s career is on the line as he gives the Saints one last shot at success with a new tour, new record, and a fresh start. But even with the big break they’ve been dreaming of finally here, Hannah’s grief threatens to destroy the band, her growing relationship with Theo, and the person who matters most to her in the world: her sister.
When is the book club meeting?
Our meetings will take place on the final Thursday of every month, where we’ll dive deep into every thought, theory, and feeling about the book—gently guided by discussion questions we’ll send out the week prior so you have plenty of time to gather your thoughts.

And don’t worry. There will still be plenty of time for the reading-related tangents we all love to spiral into. If you can’t make it one month, that’s okay, we’ll continue the conversation online through the Book Club BFF group, so you’re always in the loop.
Discussion questions for The Future Saints
Whether you can’t make it to the meeting but are planning to meet up with some friends IRL or simply want to plan ahead for our meeting on February 26, 2026, click the image below to preview our discussion questions for The Future Saints. We’ll see you soon!
- When did the book hook you? And if you didn’t like it, when did it lose you?
- The book explores many kinds of love: familial, platonic, and romantic. In what ways did these relationships feel real? Were there moments that felt especially relatable?
- Grief in the novel isn’t romanticized; it’s messy and all-consuming. As Hannah clings to her pain, Theo tries to “fix” her the way he would any artist at the label—only to realize that not everyone wants to be fixed. How does her grief challenge his identity as the fixer?
- Theo and Hannah have different ways of processing loss. Theo turns Roger into a father figure after his dad leaves, and Hannah turns Ginny into a version of her sister she can still access. How do these projections shape their choices throughout the novel?
- How do you interpret the ending? Do you think Hannah and Theo reconnect, or did they have to let each other go for her to fully heal?
- Did the story remind you of any real-life bands or musicians?
- What were your favorite parts of the book? Was there anything you would have changed?
- Fancast Hannah, Theo, Ripper, Kenny, Ginny, Roger, and Bowie.
You can trust our recommendations
Worried you won’t love the read one month? We get it, your time is precious, and you don’t want to waste it reading a book that feels like a chore to finish. But rest assured, we are committed to choosing books we know our readers will love. Our picks will span genres, so depending on the month, you may be diving into your favorite category or stepping slightly outside your comfort zone. What you can always trust is that every book is hand-selected by a team of readers who are just as obsessed with reading as you are. We can’t wait to hear what you think.
