Join Melissa R. Collings at Bound Booksellers for a conversation with author Melissa Grace celebrating The Love Operation, her new romantic women’s fiction novel about love, memory, ambition, and the danger of treating people like problems to be solved.

Melissa and Melissa will talk about the real operating room experiences that helped inspire the novel, the surprising journey from medicine to writing love stories, and what happens when a woman who is very good at fixing spines tries to apply the same logic to her heart.

Expect behind-the-scenes stories, a few things your spine secretly wishes you knew, plenty of book talk, and probably a few things neither Melissa intended to say out loud.

Because the best books—and the best people—have a spine.
