Jimmy Fallon's Book Club 2024: SSEES Alumni Makes Final Two

Kristen Perrin, an alumnus of SSEES, saw her novel 'How to Solve Your Own Murder' reach the final round of the Jimmy Fallon Book Club earlier this month.

Fallon himself shared the synopsis of Perrin's novel during the selection process: "This is also a debut. A teenage girl named Frances visits a fortune teller who makes a chilling prediction: One day she will be murdered," Fallon read. "Frances spends a lifetime trying to solve a crime that hasn't happened yet."

Despite the competition amongst 16 titles, Perrin's work resonated with many readers, earning it a well-deserved place in the final. However, it was Tracy Sierra’s ‘Nightwatching’ that won by 2000 votes. The competition gathered around 800,000 votes in total.

Congratulations to Kristen Perrin for achieving a spot in the final two. Read more about the Jimmy Fallon Book Club's final two books here.
