Tuesday, October 20, 2026, 2:00 AM - 4:00 AM · The Ripped Bodice, Culver City, Los Angeles
Author Steph Macca celebrates the release of her book Unhinged with a live conversation at The Ripped Bodice. Few tickets remain for this book launch event.
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.
