Maxwell Gregory, Lake Forest Book Store, Lake Forest, IL Round Midnight: A Novel, by Laura McBride (Touchstone, $25.99) Four women, five decades, and one Las Vegas nightclub come together in a powerful story of lust, grief, and family ties.

Their stories are intertwined both with and without their knowledge, and together they forge a future that none of them could foresee. Taking readers from the depths of grief and then sending them soaring with emotion, Round Midnight is an awe-inspiring novel that deserves to be on the bookshelf of every avid reader.
