Introducing Off the Page, theSkimm’s New Virtual Book Club

Olivia Muenter Little One Off the Page
February 3, 2026

We're starting a book club 🎉 📚

Meet: Off the Page — a slower, more intentional kind of book club. Four books a year, all by female authors, chosen to spark discussion and stick with you. We’re kicking things off with our first pick: Little One by Olivia Muenter.

A little about the book:

Trusting a cult leader? Obviously dicey. Trusting his daughter? A little less clear. Catharine West seems to have it all: successful career, polished NYC life. What no one knows is she grew up in an isolated Florida community that wasn’t as serene as it seemed.

Until a journalist starts digging into her past. What begins as intrusive turns unavoidable — because he might know what she’s never stopped wondering: What really happened to her sister?

Part psychological suspense, part coming-of-age reckoning, this novel asks how much of who we are comes from how we were raised — and how much we get to choose.

Psst...Sign up to get an exclusive 15% off the hardcover book.

How Off the Page works:

1. We read four books per year. Yes. Four. That’s it. Because between work, family, and trying to rest, reading should feel doable — not like another obligation.

2. You get plenty of time to read. Once the book’s announced, you’ve got a couple of months to finish it. Read at your own pace.

3. RSVP and meet the author. Every time. Each Off the Page event includes a live Q&A where you can get your questions answered.

4. Then, we discuss. After the author leaves, we break into small groups to talk about the book. You’ll hear different takes, trade thoughts, and start building connections.

After you register, you’ll get:

  • A calendar invite you can add in one click

  • A reading companion from the publisher with exclusive Skimm-only questions

  • An exclusive 15% off discount code on the hardcover version of the book

The goal: Unpretentious time with smart, like-minded women — a good book meets good company. See you there!

Content note: This book includes themes around eating disorders and mental health.
