Monday, September 7, 2026, 2:00 AM - 5:00 AM · The Ripped Bodice, Culver City, Los Angeles
The Ripped Bodice Brooklyn kicks off its September book club series discussing Rich Girl Summer by Lily Chu, hosted by Zoë. RSVP required to attend.
A romance-only bookstore with a pink-door wink and matchmakers behind the counter, where shelves are sorted by trope (enemies-to-lovers, second-chance, queer HEAs) so you can shop your fantasy without breaking eye contact. It’s cozy-camp in the best way: florals, chandeliers, and the soft thud of cynics giving in. Author events feel like a swoony clubhouse meeting, and the gift corner deals in candles, cheeky cards, and “just one more chapter” energy.
