About this Event

Join booksellers Katie Cerqua and Nikki Snyder, who will facilitate a book discussion of , a page-turning M**der mystery where a reality TV contestant must fake date her rival as bodies pile up and the show spirals out of control.

A social hour at Kittie’s will precede the program at 5:00 pm, with the book discussion at 6:15 pm.

Registration is on Eventbrite. A ticket to this program includes a copy of the book and a beverage at Kittie’s. It is strongly encouraged that registrants read the book prior to the program.

Alice Chen doesn’t believe in true love, but she does believe in cold, hard cash. Buckling under the weight of student debt and her mother’s medical bills, Alice will do anything to make bank—even star on Dawn Tay’s Inferno, the hot new reality TV show designed to push couples to their breaking point.
The show is Alice’s chance to sip cocktails on the beach and win a cash prize of a million dollars. But when her fiancé cheats on her with another contestant, Alice is faced with a choice: go home in defeat or fake date the other newly single contestant—who just so happens to be her high school rival and sworn nemesis, Daniel Cho.
But all’s fair in love and reality TV, and Alice isn’t the only one who will do whatever it takes to win. When a dead body turns up, Alice and Daniel are faced with uncovering the secrets of the cast and crew to catch the killer—all while playing the loving couple on camera.
Starring a M**der mystery twist, plenty of reality show drama, and a thrilling romance, this debut by up-and-coming Asian American writer duo Kara Loo and Jennifer Young is the ultimate beach read.
