Brooklyn Book Festival Panel: More Than Friends

In Jasmine Guillory’s Flirting Lessons, Jonny Garza Villa’s Futbolista, and Celia Laskey’s Cover Story, the friendzone is no longer a concern as these protagonists cross the lines that border friendship and romance. From getting one-on-one lessons in the art of flirting, getting tutored by a one-time kiss at a party to stay on the soccer (fútbol) team, or trying to help keep a very gay starlet in the closet, these protagonists find themselves on the cusp of something they didn’t realize they were looking for. Moderated by DJ DeSmyter, Director of Marketing and Brand Strategy at Avon Books. FREE PANEL!
