Introduction:
Have you ever joined an online book club, or any book club for that matter, wondering if you will ever meet the members in person? Well that's what happened to the members of the Opine club which became one of the Internet's most popular book clubs. Members from all over the world read the latest books from the bestselling author's and then come together at the Opine club, discussing what they've read. Only this club brought together a certain group of people who became closer than the rest.
The group consists of eight members, who have their private chat room in the club, from all over the world. Every week, at the same time, all eight members meet up to discuss what's going on in their current book. Even though the friends aren't across the street from one another, it sure seems that way to them. After having been in the club for over three years now, they suddenly decide to meet up in person for the first time in Salzburg, Austria.
Every member lives in a different city around the globe so they decided to meet up in a city and country that isn't their own. Once the big trip was planned, each of them made reservations at The Bristol Hotel in Salzburg since they all wanted to make a good, first impression. The Bristol Hotel is a five-star hotel in Salzburg that not everyone can afford but the friends made sure that each member was able to get a room at the fancy hotel. Reservations were made for a specific day and a dinner reservation was made for a specific evening at the hotel.
Meeting people online and forming friendships isn't such a bad thing at all but once you meet those people in person, will things change or will it be like it was online? What will happen on that first day together? Different personalities, different countries, different languages. Many things can happen but are first impressions really that important? Read on to find out.
