A witty, emotional, and deliciously slow burn enemies-to-lovers romance between two costars on a popular sci-fi television series.Simon and Charlie, actors on a long-running sci-fi show, can’t stand one another. Charlie is impetuous, outgoing, and basically feral, and Simon thinks he should have stayed in reality television where he belongs. They’ve spent the better part of a decade quarreling over the spotlight and pretty much everything else, and everybody in the industry knows it. Now that Simon’s contract is finally done, he can move to New York, start fresh with work he actually likes, and get away from Charlie.Simon’s only problem is that people might assume he’s been pushed off the show due to being impossible to work with. And he is kind of difficult to work with. He doesn’t get along with people—unlike Charlie, who somehow tricked everyone on the show into adoring him despite some outrageously bad on-set behavior during the show’s first season. Simon would rather never have to see Charlie again, but reluctantly agrees to stage a very public friendship during the short time before he moves. When Charlie has to leave town to deal with a family emergency, this means Simon comes along. Their road trip brings Simon to places he would never have willingly chosen to visit—and he finds he’s actually not having a terrible time.The more he gets to know Charlie, the more Simon suspects he’s underestimated his former coworker. Simon also realizes that after seven years, Charlie might know him better than anyone ever has. Even stranger, Charlie seems to be starting to actually like him, despite knowing him so well. Still, Simon is about to move three thousand miles away, so whatever’s starting between him and Charlie can’t really amount to anything... right?Tropes:Enemies to LoversOpposites AttractForced ProximitySlow Burn - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/july-bad-romance-book-club-star-shipped/100001982628465110 - **Event Categories**: meetups, art, it, theatre, literary-art, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old Town Books - **lat**: 38.80359139999999 - **long**: -77.04368099999999 - **full address**: Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: July Bad Romance Book Club: Star Shipped - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/aa7f8e451e2a2691c47eeeb4319601f3aa96594ca80ddda043a43572f2c553cd-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfe4265-gmir.jpg?v=1770682566 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is July Bad Romance Book Club: Star Shipped being held? - **A:** July Bad Romance Book Club: Star Shipped takes place on Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Fri, 17 Jul, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Old Town Books, 130 South Royal Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing July Bad Romance Book Club: Star Shipped? - **A:** July Bad Romance Book Club: Star Shipped is organized by Old Town Books. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Old Town Books's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Old Town Books a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
