Jessica Gross presents Open Wide, featuring Kyle McCarthy

P&T Knitwear is pleased to welcome Jessica Gross to celebrate and discuss her new book, Open Wide: an increasingly obsessive radio host tests the boundaries of her boyfriend's love in this unforgettable dark comedy that is by turns romantic, horrific, and profound.

Jessica will be joined in conversation by Kyle McCarthy, author Everyone Knows How Much I Love You. Along with a discussion and audience Q&A, Jessica will also sign copies of Open Wide.
