Let me tell you a story about IN THE EVENT OF LOVE, @court_kae's gorgeous debut novel releasing next week. (!!) I read this book for the first time two years ago. And once I started, I couldn't stop — it was so easy to get wrapped up in this steamy sapphic second-chance romance. I didn’t know yet that it would be my last year of #PitchWars, and looking back, I feel so incredibly fortunate that Courtney was my last mentee. 😭😭😭 Courtney is one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met — there is no one like her. She has this beautiful enthusiasm that makes you feel SO seen, and it's no shock that her book does the same thing. IN THE EVENT OF LOVE welcomes you in right away. It's inclusive, atmospheric, and S P I C Y, and it will make you want to wear flannel and drink hot cocoa all season long. It will make you want to go to the chopping stump when you're upset (iykyk) and move to a charming small town. It will make you SO MAD that Fern Falls is only fictional. (I am still NOT OKAY about this!!) Most importantly, it’s a book that will make you feel safe, cozy, LOVED. 💙 If you preorder from @therippedbodice by 8/30, your copy will come with this STUNNING stepback-inspired print! And Courtney will sign it! 😍🔥 ITEOL is truly a sexy queer Hallmark movie in book form and I cannot WAIT until it’s out in the world!! ❄️
