The Last Page Book Bash with Katie Holt

Join us for book bash with author Katie Holt—perfectly set in a romance bookstore that knows a thing or two about falling in love between the stacks. 

Hear Katie dive into the story of Ella, a fiercely devoted bookseller who’s spent her life inside her beloved shop, and Henry, the out-of-town heir who inherits the shop and has no idea what to do with it. What starts as a battle over the future of the store quickly turns into an uneasy alliance as they fight to keep the doors open…all while some very inconvenient chemistry starts rewriting their story. 

After the chat, stick around to meet Katie, get your book signed, and celebrate a rivals-to-friends-to-lovers romance set in our favorite kind of place! To purchase a copy of The Last Page be sure to select the ticket option which includes that title at Eventbrite checkout. 

Guests are welcome to bring past titles by Katie from home to be signed as well.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Katie Holt is a New York City resident but a Tennessee native. She studied English with a concentration in creative writing at NYU and fought with every professor to prove that romance novels were worthy of their time. She’s a Nora Ephron fanatic, Swiftie, and warm chocolate chip cookie enthusiast. Katie is also the author of her highly acclaimed debut Not in My Book.

ABOUT THE LAST PAGE

From the author of Not in My Book comes another irresistible, bookish contemporary romance.

Ella has grown up at The Last Page, a charming local bookstore in New York City where she now works. Her first kiss was in the women’s health section. A boyfriend dumped her in comedy. The owner is like a second father to her and has begun training her to take over the store. So when he unexpectedly dies and his estranged grandson is left everything in the will, Ella is devastated.

Henry doesn’t know the first thing about running a bookstore. With his aging mom back in Tennessee, he plans to stay in New York just long enough to ensure things are running smoothly and then head back home. What he never could have counted on was the beautiful, funny bookseller who loves The Last Page more than any place in the world—and who sees him as the villain who’s come to ruin her life.

But when it becomes evident that the store is in deep financial trouble and Henry and Ella are both at risk of losing everything, they have no choice but to put their differences aside and team up—despite the inconvenient chemistry blossoming between them.

Fans of Christina Lauren and Ali Hazelwood will adore this rivals-to-friends-to-lovers bookish romance!
