“Dear PoPville,
Spotted a beached Jessie’s boat over in Buzzard Point, between the concrete plant and helipad. What a strange sight! I wonder what it’s doing there?

To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories.
