Heather Frese is back with a follow-up 'prequel' to her 2021 Lee Smith Novel Prize-winning The Baddest Girl on the Planet. Once again she chooses Hatteras Island and the Outer Banks for her setting, and 'bad girl' Evie Austin is back. But this time she is younger, just starting down the path that led her to her situation in Baddest Girl and in this novel, the focus is on her best friend Charlotte McConnell. Grieving after her father's death, Charlotte seeks solace on the Outer Banks where Evie's family runs a small inn. The family welcomes Charlotte with chowder dinners and a cozy room, but her friend Evie has a looming life change of her own, and soon Charlotte seeks other attractions to navigate her grief. Will she, like in some television movie, find her way back through a romance, or are there larger forces at play? We liked The Saddest Girl on the Beach every bit as much as its predecessor and are so excited to welcome Heather back to Downtown Books for a First Friday book signing. Heather will be here from 6pm to 8pm meeting friends, greeting fans and signing copies of both of her novels. Downtown Books Inner Circle members are invited to join us for an intimate reception with the author from 5:30pm - 6pm.First Friday is a fun, free family friendly event taking place throughout Downtown Manteo featuring live music throughout town, restaurant specials, art show openings, trunk shows, book signings and more. It's a great night to call up a friend and say 'meet me in Manteo'! And meet me first at the bookstore!
Signed copies will be shipped after the event.
