basically one lady in particular has a problem with me

she has told others that i am not as literary as the rest of the group.

they all exchanged text messages and accidentally forwarded to me! when i tried to have a discussion about the content of the text they got all het up and accused me of being defensive

they always remind me they are the established members of the group and i am newer member

i thought book clubs were supposed to be informal, enjoyable focusing upon chosen book not petty politics

unfortunately, because of commitments etc i have arrived late.that went done like lead balloon too

i am so upset they make me feel inferior
