Romance BookClub: The Heart of the Deal

July 8, 2025, 12:30pm–1:30pm

Join us at our al fresco book club this summer and explore graphic novels, romance, and classics. Sign up at the Reading Room in advance and pick up your free book, then return to discuss with like-minded fans and hosts.

It’s enemies to lovers - and everything in-between - as we revel in romance in July.

"Rae is in a romantic recession. The Wall Street banker is single in New York City and overwhelmed by the pressure to scramble up the corporate and romantic ladders. Feeling her biological clock ticking, she analyzes her love life like a business deal and vows to lock in a husband before her 30th birthday. Moving and timely, The Heart of the Deal is the story of one woman’s reckoning with what success really is in a city, an industry, and a relationship whose low lows continually challenge the enchantment of the high highs."

Produced in partnership with Penguin Random House
