Join us as we welcome CHRISTINE RICCIO in conversation with KELSEY IMPICCICHE  on FRIDAY, JANUARY 9 at 6:00 PM to celebrate the release of Riccio's new novel THIRTY, FLIRTY, AND FOREVER ALONE.

 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

27 Dresses meets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend in this witty, serendipitous rom-com with a magical twist from New York Times bestselling author Christine Riccio.

When your name literally means "forever alone," it takes a lot of positive self-talk to stay optimistic in the hellscape that is dating. But on the cusp of thirty, Rikki Romona is determined to find her person.

Columnist, therapist, podcaster, entrepreneur--Rikki is an overachiever who thrives on schedules. She can absolutely handle two weddings in two days, and lock down someone to drag along as a plus-one.

And yet, spoiler: She doesn't.

Rikki finds herself flying hopelessly solo at a themed wedding in New Jersey. A lonely Rapunzel waiting for her Flynn.

Enter Reed Tyler: writer, podcast producer, wannabe actor. Surprisingly single with startling blue eyes, he seems perfect. The catch? He lives kind of far away, so dating him would be a bit of a hike. Like an intense, all-the-way-across-the-country hike.

After one unforgettable night together, Rikki's sure this is the end. But as she braces herself for heartache, the universe, it seems, has other plans...
