About this Event

To Love Like Venus Book Launch

Environmentalism is a focus of To Love Like Venus. So is beauty and pleasure and Greek island settings. What better place to sample Greek wines and launch the book than at the Greek skincare and beauty store Korres, which centers sustainable sourcing of organic ingredients throughout rural Greece in its products and eco-conscious packaging. It’s an intimate shop in Nolita Manhattan, so RSVPs for this open event are greatly appreciated.

Greek wines, nibbles and galactic bonbons. Plus raffles, Venus trivia, in-store gifts & books. And a happy Pisces birthday to Stephanie.


“Pitsirilos has crafted a compelling exploration of what it means to be human, weaving together themes of artificial intelligence, environmental degradation, mother-son relationships, and the difficulty of modern love. [...]A scintillating modern love story that will leave a lasting impression.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A featured Ingram’s Indie Early Buzz for March releases and Publishers Weekly BookLife Indie Spotlight for February Romance. A "Brilliant Book Brought to Life on Kickstarter". Library Staff Pick.
