Cara Bastone: Author Talk with Romance Readers (not) Anonymous Book Club
Join us for our monthly book club meeting to discuss Promise Me Sunshine with the author, Cara Bastone!
Cara Bastone lives and writes in Brooklyn with her husband, son, and an almost-goldendoodle. Her goal is to find the swoon in ordinary love stories with her work. She'd been a fan of the romance genre since she found a grocery bag filled with her grandmother's old Harlequin Romances when she was in high school. She's a fangirl for pretzel sticks, long walks through Prospect Park, and love stories featuring men who aren't hobbled by their own masculinity.
Promise Me Sunshine Reviews:
"A beautiful portrayal of two people navigating love and grief." — Kirkus Reviews
"Bastone’s heartfelt, touching examination of grief and depiction of living through it and finding joy and love while building relationships makes this romance rise to the top." — Booklist
