Tonight! Come join romance author Katie Golding and I as we talk about confidence and comebacks, and celebrate her new book, Wreckless. It comes out next week and features a female motorcycle racer who crashes and then has to figure out how to get her badass, race-the-boys confidence back online. Also, a fan-yourself sexy Italian hero. At this event, we’ll be talking: -Favorite comeback stories.
