From USA Today bestselling author Jessica Strawser comes a hopeful and empowering novel about the messy beauty of female friendship and the deep courage it takes to rebuild a life at any age.
“Jessica Strawser delivers a thought-provoking, life-affirming novel about the things we keep, what we leave behind, and the courage it takes to, well, quit. The Quitters Club is an ode to female friendship and the liberating truth that defining life on your own terms isn’t failure, it’s freedom,” said Kristy Woodson Harvey, New York Times bestselling author of Summer State of Mind.
The Quitters Club is an Amazon Editors’ Pick for May First Reads, giving Kindle readers early access (free for Prime, $1.99 for others.)
Strawser is the author of Catch You Later, The Last Caretaker, The Next Thing You Know, A Million Reasons Why, Forget You Know Me, Not That I Could Tell (a Book of the Month selection) and Almost Missed You. She was editorial director at Writer’s Digest for nearly a decade before becoming a novelist.
She is also a Career Authors contributing editor, a popular speaker at writing conferences across the U.S., including the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop, and a freelance editor and writer with bylines in the New York Times Modern Love column, Publishers Weekly and other venues.
A Pittsburgh native and graduate of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University, she lives with her husband and two children in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she has been honored with Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards in 2024 and 2026 and served as 2019 Writer-in-Residence for the Cincinnati & Hamilton County Public Library.
