When Nina Larkin is given a copy of The Joy of Sex by her newly divorced friend, she can no longer dismiss the nearly nonexistent intimacy of her marriage. Just as her oldest child, Clara, is falling in love for the first time, Nina finds herself longing for the forbidden: a midlife awakening. An intoxicating fling with a prominent neighbor brings Nina a freedom she never thought possible—but also risks the reputations of both families and unravels Clara’s world, just as she stands on the threshold of adulthood.Years later, Clara, now a successful food stylist in New York City, has never been able to move past the long-ago scandal. Drawn back home by the pull of a family wedding and wrestling with her own demons, she makes a pivotal decision that turns her life upside down. Written with Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney’s signature humor and insight, Lake Effect is a wise and probing look at love and desire, mothers and daughters, loss and grief, and what we owe the people we love most.Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney is the author of the instant New York Times bestselling novels The Nest (named a best book of the year by People, the Washington Post, and NPR) and Good Company (a Read with Jenna selection). She has been a guest on Today, Late Night with Seth Meyers and NPR’s All Things Considered. Her work has been translated into more than twenty-eight languages, and The Nest is in development as a limited series with AMC Studios. Sweeney holds an MFA from the Bennington Writing Seminars. She and her husband live in New York City.Taffy Brodesser-Akner is a staff writer for the New York Times Magazine and the New York Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble, which was published by Random House in 2019, and has been translated into more than a dozen languages. She is also the creator and executive producer of its Emmy-nominated limited series adaptation for FX. Her second novel, Long Island Compromise, was published, also by Random House, in 2024. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner/100001977639944310 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, sports, workshops, magic-show - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fin-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner-tickets-1977639944310 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 10.89, max: 32.66, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Books Are Magic Montague - **lat**: 40.6945995 - **long**: -73.994642 - **full address**: Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Books Are Magic (https://allevents.in/org/books-are-magic/22525923) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/cd5a476d46928bdd2bab73929ecc2291ab6ee3877d22f445818d4a550ff7b60a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc901140-gmir.jpg?v=1765860447 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/8d1f12471416f782e0667a6e9d5c674a74209af78d77ba51a3a1cc9a5820f413-rimg-w400-h400-dc8f103f-gmir.jpg?v=1765860447 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Books Are Magic Montague, 122 Montague Street, Brooklyn, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 10.89 up to 32.66 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Books Are Magic - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, sports, workshops, magic-show - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about In-Store: Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney: Lake Effect w/ Taffy Brodesser-Akner ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "In-Store: Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney: Lake Effect w/ Taffy Brodesser-Akner", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/cd5a476d46928bdd2bab73929ecc2291ab6ee3877d22f445818d4a550ff7b60a-rimg-w1200-h600-dc901140-gmir.jpg?v=1765860447", "startDate": "2026-03-04", "endDate": "2026-03-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner/100001977639944310", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Books Are Magic Montague", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "122 Montague Street", "postalCode": "11201", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.6945995", "longitude": "-73.994642" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "“Lake Effect is tender and bittersweet, a joyful classic in the making.” —Jenny Jackson, NYT bestselling author of Pineapple Street", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-04", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "lowPrice": "10.89", "highPrice": "32.66", "price": "10.89", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner/100001977639944310" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner/100001977639944310", "price": "32.66", "name": "Ticket + book (Store Pickup)" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-05", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/in-store-cynthia-daprix-sweeney-lake-effect-w-taffy-brodesser-akner/100001977639944310", "price": "10.89", "name": "Ticket + gift card (Store Pickup)" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Books Are Magic", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/books-are-magic/22525923", "description": "Books Are Magic opened on May 1, 2017, in Cobble Hill.
