Please join us in welcoming Amy Lovat back to our library for the launch of her second novel, Big feelings: An anti-romantic comedy. We are excited to have Amy in conversation with Hayley Scrivenor to talk about her new work, described as a mystery novel with a break-up instead of a dead body. Think High Fidelity meets Fleabag.
Big Feelings tackles queer relationships, fertility themes, millennial angst and family relationships. It is a must-read for fans of Monica Heisy, Coco Mellors and rom coms in general.
Don't miss this opportunity to hear from two exciting Australian authors. Books will be available for purchase from MacLean's Booksellers and Amy will be signing copies after the talk.
