Elle McNicoll - Unapologetic Love Story
Attendance options:

We love it when Elle McNicoll comes to town, so it's an absolute pleasure for us to be hosting the Edinburgh launch of her dazzling debut adult romance novel, Unapologetic Love Story. It's an audacious celebration of love, relationships and the women who have been historically shut out of such stores until now...
This event will take place in the bookshop with an in-person audience, as well as a livestream for attendees watching from home. There will be a signing after the event.
In-person vouchers can be redeemed on the night of the event against a single copy of Unapologetic Love Story – we will have a list of attendees with vouchers to be redeemed. Please note that only one voucher can be redeemed per book. Livestream vouchers are valid until the day after the event and can be redeemed on our website against a single copy of Unapologetic Love Story.
