About this Event
Think romance novels aren’t for you? Think again! Whether you're a die-hard fan, someone yet to be won over, or just looking for a fun night out with friends, Romance for Non-Romance Readers is the perfect Galentine’s event to explore the world of romance books.
Join us on Friday, February 7th, at Lovestruck Books in Harvard Square for an in-person discussion celebrating all things romance. Hosted by Aja Frost and Aliza Sir, co-founders of the popular culture and friendship newsletter Platonic Love, the evening will explore three carefully selected romance titles and welcome readers of all experience levels.
You’ll discover that romance novels are about more than just love—they’re full of personal growth, adventure, friendship, and unforgettable characters. Whether you’re new to the genre or a casual reader, this event is your chance to connect with fellow book lovers, explore different sub-genres, and find your next great read!
Your ticket includes one of the following books to take home after the event:
- by Curtis Sittenfeld
- by Tia Williams
- by Casey McQuiston
Choose your favorite book of the three titles (included with your ticket purchase) and grab the other 2 titles at check-out if you wish!

ABOUT PLATONIC LOVE
Aja Frost and Aliza Sir are co-authors and founders of the bestselling newsletter Platonic Love. Their newsletter ("by friends, for friends") tackles the sticky and oft under-discussed topics of adulthood — like how to make friends as an adult, give a great speech, navigate miscarriage, or help a friend through grief. As one reader said, "Aja and Aliza feel like your internet pajama friends — the kind of cozy, immediately comfortable girlfriends you'd totally have over without notice on a Tuesday night to share an already opened bottle of wine and gab about your okayish day." Aja and Aliza's writing has been featured in Cup of Jo, The Love List, The Washington Post, and more.
