Katie Naymon will be joining us at Flame and Fable to celebrate her newest release, In Every Future It’s Us on Friday, December 4th. She will be in discussion with Lauren Okie as they discuss romance novels. About the book: When childhood neighbors and best friends Florence Parker and Tom Sinclair were on the precipice of graduating college, they made a pact they hoped would link them forever: Every year at their families’ lavish New Year’s Eve party, they’d each write five secret predictions about the other’s year ahead. Whoever got the most guesses correct would make one big life decision for the other.

 So it went for nearly a decade—until the final year, when one letter shattered their friendship.

 Now Tom and Florence are home for the holidays and haven’t spoken in over a year. To keep up appearances, they’re forced to plan the New Year’s Eve party together. But hidden in the tense silences and charged interactions is a wealth of history they can’t escape, and feelings they’ve never spoken aloud. It’s their last opportunity to make amends before Florence moves away, but are they willing to take a chance on a future they can’t predict?
