Book Discussion: Trust Exercise, by Susan Choi

Join our Fiction Book Group online to discuss Trust Exercise, by Susan Choi, which received the National Book Award for fiction.

In an American suburb in the early 1980s, students at a highly competitive performing arts high school struggle and thrive in a rarified bubble. When two freshmen fall headlong into love, their passion does not go unnoticed—or untoyed with—by anyone, especially not by their charismatic acting teacher.

The outside world fails to penetrate this school’s walls—until it does, in a shocking spiral of events that catapults the action forward in time and flips the premise upside-down.

Menlo Park’s Fiction Book Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday of each month.

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 | 06:30 PM - 07:45 PM
