Best friends have one week in paradise to fix their friendship or fall apart in this heart-stopping, utterly romantic new novel
About this Event

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Every Summer After and One Golden Summer, join us in welcoming Carley Fortune to Lovestruck to celebrate, , a powerfully strong romance for readers who like their love stories equal parts torment and passion.

Hear from Carly as she dives into the inspiration behind the swoon-worthy chaos of Our Perfect Storm, where a wedding weekend implodes, a best friend reappears at exactly the wrong (or right?) moment, and a “honeymoon” to Tofino promises rainforests, misty beaches, and maybe a second chance at love.

Expect laughter, longing, and plenty of behind-the-scenes stories about friendship, heartbreak, and the kind of romance that refuses to stay buried.

Tickets include your very own hardcover copy of Our Perfect Storm!

ABOUT OUR PERFECT STORM

Frankie and George have been best friends since they were eight years old. Both passionate, impulsive, and headstrong—they’ve always clashed... and come back together. Until now. It’s the eve of Frankie’s wedding weekend, and she doesn’t know where they stand or even if George will show up as her best man.

Then, at the start of the festivities, in walks George. For one glorious evening, surrounded by her loved ones, Frankie’s life is finally perfect. But it all comes crashing down when her fiancé dumps her the next morning, leaving only a note as an explanation.

Crushed and confused, Frankie returns to her family’s home to wallow. But George has a different idea and a plan for healing Frankie’s broken heart. He wants her to go on her honeymoon. With him. For one week, to the lush rainforests and misty beaches of Tofino.

Frankie agrees, seeing the trip for what it really is: one last chance to repair their friendship. Even if it means unearthing secrets and long buried feelings neither knows how to handle. Even if it means falling apart for good.
