The next title on the Chatelaine book club's reading list is West of Wawa by Lisa de Nikolits. De Nikolits is an art director by day and author by night—she's worked for Cosmopolitan, Vogue and Marie Claire and written two novels.

Read along with us! Next week, we'll be chatting about the first part of the book (pages 1 to 118). To get you started, here’s our review of this fabulous novel.

WEST OF WAWA
Pill-popping, wisecracking Benny may be only 29, but she’s on the run from a failed marriage, ruined art career, unhealthy food — pretty much life in general — and seeking salvation on a cross-Canada bus journey. And the true north strong and free might just have some hope in store for this Aussie wanderer.

West of Wawa, Lisa de Nikolits, $23.
