Romance deserves a night out—and so do you. On October 11th, Sidekick Coffee & Books is serving up It’s Getting Plot in Here, a brand-new festival dedicated to everything we love about love stories. Think swoony slow burns, laugh-out-loud banter, and spicy page-turners, all enjoyed with a latte, cocktail, or maybe even a chocolate croissant in hand. It’s the perfect blend of books, beverages, and butterflies.
Meet the Authors
This festival brings together a lovely group of romance authors ready to sweep you off your feet. From laugh-out-loud rom-coms to heart-racing contemporary love stories, these writers dive into different corners of the genre and remind us why romance is the ultimate comfort read. Each one brings their own spin on love, heartbreak, and happily-ever-afters—and together they’ll leave you with plenty of new favorites to add to your TBR pile.
