No one does summer romance quite like bestselling rom-com author Katherine Center. “The Shippers” will take readers on the cruise of a lifetime. After a lifetime of being bad at love, JoJo Burton decides to woo her first crush during her sister’s cruise ship destination wedding. JoJo ropes in her childhood bestie, Cooper Watts, to be her wing man. Shipboard antics ensue in this witty, heart-tugging, childhood-friends-to-lovers romance—as JoJo and Cooper slow dance, share a cabin, sing duets, get jealous, rescue each other over and over, and finally, at last, figure it all out in the most blissful, swoony, romantic way.


INDIVIDUAL TICKET $38 (Admits ONE and includes one pre-signed copy of “The Shippers")
