B&N Virtually Presents: Katie Cotugno celebrates BIRDS OF CALIFORNIA!

Join Barnes & Noble as we welcome New York Times bestselling author, Katie Cotugno, for a live, virtual discussion of BIRDS OF CALIFORNIA -- our May Fiction Monthly Pick -- a sharply sexy and whip-smart romantic comedy where sparks fly and things get real set against the backdrop of a post #metoo Hollywood.

Katie will be in conversation with Taylor Jenkins Reid, author of numerous New York Times bestselling novels such as Daisy Jones and the Six (currently being adapted by Hello Sunshine into a limited series for Amazon). Her next novel, Carrie Soto Is Back, will be published on 8/30/22.

ABOUT BIRDS OF CALIFORNIA:

Former child actor Fiona St. James dropped out of the spotlight after a spectacularly public crash and burn. The tabloids called her crazy and self-destructive and said she’d lost her mind. Now in her late twenties, Fiona believes her humiliating past is firmly behind her. She’s finally regained a modicum of privacy, and she won’t let anything—or anyone—mess it up.

Unlike Fiona, Sam Fox, who played her older brother on the popular television show Birds of California, loves the perks that come with being a successful Hollywood actor: fame, women, parties, money. When his current show gets cancelled and his agent starts to avoid his calls, the desperate actor enthusiastically signs on for a Birds of California revival. But to make it happen, he needs Fiona St. James.

Against her better judgment, Fiona agrees to have lunch with Sam. What happens next takes them both by surprise. Sam is enthralled by Fiona’s take-no-prisoners attitude, and Fiona discovers a lovable goofball behind Sam’s close-up-ready face. Long drives to the beach, late nights at dive bars . . . theirs is the kind of kitschy romance Hollywood sells. But just like in the rom-coms Fiona despises, there’s a twist that threatens her new love. Sam doesn’t know the full story behind her breakdown. What happens when she reveals the truth?
