This book will be discussed in July 2026 at the second in-person book club meeting at the library. There is no longer a virtual/online book club.

Yesteryear  by Caro Claire Burke

Natalie lives a traditional lifestyle – and has the social media accounts to prove it. Her charming farmhouse on her working ranch is artfully cluttered, her husband is a handsome cowboy, her homemade sourdough boules are each more beautiful than the last. So what if there are nannies and producers and industrial-grade ovens behind the scenes? What Natalie’s followers don’t know won’t hurt them.

Then, one morning, Natalie wakes up in a strange, horrible version of reality. Her home, her husband, her children―they’re all familiar, but something’s off. Is this a hoax? A reality show? A test from God? Natalie knows just two things for sure: this isn’t her perfect life, and she must escape, by any means possible.

November 2025 was the last online book club meeting for the Waianae Book Club. Starting in January 2026 the book club will be an in-person meeting at the same time, 3rd Wednesday of the month at 6:00pm in the library meeting room.  Yesteryear will be the selection for July 2026.  No registration required.  We will also begin the process of selecting books for the rest of this year, so bring some interesting titles!  Questions please call the library at 808-697-7868.
