A CAN’T-MISS AUTHOR MOMENT FOR THE CULTURE
What happens when a storyteller crafts characters who defy expectations, embrace complexity, and find joy — even when life doesn’t go according to plan? We’re going Behind the Pages with Adrienne Thurman, the fiction writer known for her witty, heartfelt romance and commercial fiction where gloriously unlikable women get their happily ever afters — or the revenge plot of their dreams.
Adrienne writes across genres for both adults and children. In her upcoming adult debut, Don’t Tell Me How It Ends, a rom-com filled with sharp humor and emotional truth, a twenty-something who’s sworn off love finds herself back home, reluctantly navigating matchmaking, bad dates, and unexpected connection.
She’s also the author of the exuberant picture book No Way, Wash Day, which celebrates hair care rituals with joy and representation.
During this live author chat, attendees can expect:
✨ A rich conversation about writing layered characters, romance, and commercial fiction
✨ Adrienne’s insights into crafting stories where Black women flourish on their own terms
✨ Reflections on humor, heart, and the creative process
✨ Space to ask questions, engage, and connect with other sistas
This experience is for any woman who loves love with an edge, characters with depth, and stories that make you laugh, sigh, and think twice.
