The Bookmonger Presents: An Evening with the Queen of Holiday Reads, Sophie Gravia

Celebrating her latest release Stars and Swipes

Monday August 10th | 7PM| Doors open 6:45pm

About the Evening

We're thrilled to welcome Glasgow's own Queen of Holiday Reads, Sophie Gravia, to The Bookmonger to celebrate the release of her latest novel, Stars and Swipes, the laugh-out-loud sequel to the bestselling The Dicktionary Club.

Sophie's debut A Glasgow Kiss became an overnight sensation, and her novels have been winning readers over with their sharp wit, chaotic romance, and irresistible humour ever since. Now Ella, Katy, and Zola are taking on New York City, and we're celebrating in style.

Join us for a fun, frank, and gloriously chaotic evening with one of Scotland's most exciting voices in romantic comedy, in conversation with Bookmonger owner Caitlyn Payne.

About Stars and Swipes

Ella, Katy, and Zola are beside themselves when they're offered the chance to launch The Dicktionary Club stateside. A Manhattan entrepreneur has his eye on the girls, and their infamous dating app, and suddenly New York is calling.

With bigger apartments, a bigger dating pool, and their love lives imploding back home, the three besties are ready for their Gossip Girl era. But not everything is bigger in America. Secrets spill. Lines blur. And in a city built on ambition and attraction, someone is always watching.

Because in New York, love is a game. And everyone is playing.

About Sophie Gravia

Sophie Gravia grew up just outside Glasgow and has always had a love for storytelling. After a performing arts diploma and years of creative writing, Sophie began writing her now-iconic blog Sex in the Glasgow City during the pandemic, and the response was overwhelming. Her debut novel A Glasgow Kiss shot straight to number one in the charts and has been a word-of-mouth sensation ever since, with a BBC screen adaptation currently in development. Sophie is also the co-host of the chart-topping podcast Situationships with Christine McGuinness. Stars and Swipes is her sixth novel.
