For more, visit our Book Club on Tumblr, where we will post updates and discussion items starting Tuesday, July 3, which is when the book comes out.

Let’s give ourselves a week and a half to read until the end of page 88. Then we will host a live chat at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 13, and introduce each other to the characters of Zoe, Jack, and Kate—three friends who are all world-class cyclists competing for their last chance at an Olympic medal.

Thank you to all of you who supported the four other titles on the shortlist: Capital by John Lanchester, The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker, Seating Arrangements by Maggie Shipstead, and The Red House by Mark Haddon.

Happy reading!
