SUMMARY:Seaside Series: Jessica Berger Gross
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Berger Gross will read from her debut novel Hazel Says No\, published by HarperCollins in June 2025\, followed by a conversation and book signing. \nAbout Hazel Says No\nHazel Blum\, please report to the principal’s office. Hazel Blum. \nWhen Hazel Blum’s father gets a tenured job at a prestigious college\, she and her family relocate from the hustle and bustle of Brooklyn to a middle-of-nowhere college town in Maine. With her mother\, Claire\, a clothing designer\, and her father\, Gus\, an American Studies professor\, Hazel and her eleven-year-old brother\, Wolf\, spend the summer at the town pool\, where they acclimate to their new lives and connect with the town’s sprawling community. That is\, until a dramatic fallout on the very first day of her senior year tips the fickle balance of idyllic Riverburg and impacts everyone in her family. \nTracking through the perspectives of each member of the Blum family\, this relatable fish-out-of-water story handles big issues with great empathy and humor\, capturing the love that unites one unforgettable family and the essence of life in small-town Maine. Emotionally deft\, authentic\, and compulsively readable\, Hazel Says No is a debut novel not to be missed. \nAuthor Bio\nJessica Berger Gross is the author of the memoir Estranged: Leaving Family and Finding Home. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times Magazine\, The Cut\, Longreads\, and many other publications. She lives in Maine with her husband and teenage son. Hazel Says No is her first novel. Read more about Jessica on her website and Instagram. \nThe rain venue for all Seaside Series programs is SPL\, 64 Main Street.
