Join Fulton County’s biggest book club this summer!
What happens when an entire community reads the same book?
Each year, the Fulton County Library System invites residents across the county to participate in One Book, One Read, an annual initiative that brings readers together through a shared story. The program encourages conversation and connection among neighbors, book clubs, and library visitors.
For 2026, readers are invited to dive into The Last One at the Wedding by bestselling author Jason Rekulak.
The suspenseful novel follows a father attending the lavish wedding of his estranged daughter, hoping for reconciliation. As the weekend unfolds, unsettling secrets emerge about the groom and his powerful family, turning the celebration into a gripping mystery that keeps readers in suspense until the very last page.
One Book, One Read is about more than reading a great book. It creates opportunities for meaningful conversations throughout Fulton County and reminds us how stories can unite neighbors and communities around discussions on universal topics such as family, class, tolerance, and forgiveness. .
This is the ultimate summer page-turner, perfect for long days by the pool, afternoons at the beach, or quiet moments in your favorite cozy spot at home.
We’re especially excited to bring readers together with the author this fall through a special One Book, One Read event at Atlanta’s Central Library. . The program will include a conversation moderated by award-winning journalist and Channel 2 Action News anchor Karyn Greer, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing.
Join us for stimulating conversation and an inside look at how this story unfolded!
