Meet the Author: Lynn Painter

Join us for the next “Meet Your Author” event at Lovestruck Books for the opportunity to greet amazing authors, purchase books directly from them, and have your copy signed! This meet and greet on Saturday, October 25 from 5 - 8:30PM will feature&nbsp;Lynn Painter&nbsp;with copies of her recent release&nbsp;<a href="https://lovestruckbooks.com/item/uhkEB3h562uUaLyjjT5GSQ">Fake Skating</a>!&nbsp;All event ticket purchases include a copy of the book to be signed during the event. Each attendee may have&nbsp;one book personalized&nbsp;and up to&nbsp;two additional books signed&nbsp;without a personalization (including up to two books brought from home). Tickets are limited, so grab yours soon!&nbsp;If the event sells out, you can join the waitlist. Should any spots open up, you’ll have 24 hours to register before we offer them to the next person. ACCESSIBILITY The book signing line will begin at our side entrance (on the right side of the building), which is fully wheelchair accessible and includes a ramp. If you have mobility needs and would feel more comfortable arriving early, we’d love to accommodate you! Just send us a note at events@lovestruckbooks.com, and we’ll be happy to make arrangements to ensure everything goes smoothly. We’re always working to make our events as welcoming and accessible as possible, so if you have questions, need support, or want to share feedback, we’d love to hear from you. BOOK PICKUP POLICY If you purchased a book with your event ticket but can’t make it to the event—and don’t request a refund—we’ll happily hold your book for pickup for&nbsp;up to 6 months&nbsp;after the event date. We’ll be in touch via the email you provided at checkout to help coordinate pickup. After 6 months, if we haven’t heard from you or made other arrangements, we’ll consider the book&nbsp;abandoned property&nbsp;and may donate it or return it to inventory so it can find a new home. Thanks so much for your understanding and for supporting our events—we love doing this with you! <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F1085734243%2F2312721413293%2F1%2Foriginal.20250731-204515?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=1569419416fb8ca9fa243d5975831293"> ABOUT THE AUTHOR Lynn Painter&nbsp;is the #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Better Than the Movies,&nbsp;The Do-Over, Betting on You, Mr. Wrong Number, The Love Wager, Nothing Like the Movies,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Fake Skating.&nbsp;She lives in Nebraska with her husband and pack of wild children, and when she isn’t reading or writing, odds are good she’s guzzling energy drinks and watching rom-coms. You can find her at LynnPainter.com, on Instagram @LynnPainterBooks, on X @LAPainter, and on TikTok @WesBennettsMom. ABOUT&nbsp;FAKE SKATING From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Better Than the Movies Lynn Painter comes a heartfelt and banter-filled rom-com about childhood sweethearts whose icy reunion in their hockey-loving hometown unexpectedly thaws when they fake a romantic relationship. Growing up, Dani couldn’t help but follow around the adorable son of her mom’s best friend. Funny, kind of nerdy, and a little soft, Alec was always down to hang with Dani when they were little. From play dates on the playground to sneaking into movie theaters, Dani and Alec were inseparable. Until Dani moved away. Alec promised they’d stay in touch—except, they didn’t. Flash forward and Dani is back in Minnesota for her senior year, she and her mom living with her grandfather. Dealing with the fallout of her parents’ devastating divorce, Dani wouldn’t mind a nerd-out with the cozy and comforting Alec (and maybe a chance to confront him on his MIA status for all these years). But teenage Alec is nothing like the kid Dani remembers. He’s a hockey star in a town where hockey players are worshiped as gods. Dani’s place as his shadow has been taken up by drooling female fans…and he loves it. Dani is resolved to ice out her former best friend until an unlikely series of events brings them together—and forces them to fake being a couple. Once forced together, the former childhood sweethearts begin to reconnect, unearth complicated family secrets, and face their true feelings towards each other…including the real reason Alec has been pushing Dani away all these years.
