About this Event
About the Book:
Charlotte “Charlie” Walker has spent the last four years building the dating app Flutter. Despite her own lack of dating experience(!), it’s an instant success. Life is great—until one day she walks into a boardroom and discovers she’s being given the boot. Could this have something to do with rejecting the advances of her cofounder?
Devastated, directionless, and free of obligations for the first time since college, Charlie jets to Europe to join her best friend on the Rally—an extravagant, high-octane road trip where a cast of well-heeled characters drive vintage luxury cars and party their way through breathtaking locales.
Her past, however, refuses to stay in the rearview mirror. As secrets about her company begin to surface, Charlie is forced to confront the truth behind her ousting. And when a magnetic new connection complicates everything, she must decide what she’s willing to risk: her reputation, her future, and maybe even her heart.
