But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules.In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship, love and her own intellectual ambition. But youthful passion is unpredictable, and soon she finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever.Decades later, the vulnerable days of Jordan's youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news bring the past crashing into the present, she returns to a world she left behind and must confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.Written with the superb wit and emotional sensitivity fans and critics of Lily King have come to adore, Heart the Lover is a deeply moving love story that celebrates literature, forgiveness, and the transformative bonds that shape our lives. Wise, unforgettable, and with a delightful connective thread to Writers & Lovers, this is King at her very best, affirming her as a masterful chronicler of the human experience and one of the finest novelists at work today.ABOUT THE AUTHORLily King is the New York Times bestselling author of six novels, including Euphoria and Writers & Lovers, and the story collection Five Tuesdays in Winter.

We are so lucky."--Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author of This Time Tomorrow"Time moves like memory in Heart the Lover--urgent, intimate, elusive. What does it mean to carry a story you never get to finish? With breathtaking precision, Lily King writes about love that lingers and choices that haunt. I read it in a single, breathless sitting." --Ruth Ozeki, author of the Women's Prize for Fiction winner The Book of Form and Emptiness"[Y]oung and intense and foolishly stubborn, this love triangle takes a redemptive turn that feels grounded, believable and quite beautiful. Jordan is a wonderful protagonist--funny, despairing, self-deprecating, lonely and determined to write novels. This is a satisfying, emotionally rich tearjerker, a book that just may make you sob out loud."--Bookpage (starred review)"King's swoony story of love and literature, of paths taken and not taken, of the past selves we never truly leave behind, is quietly robust and nearly impossible to put down."--Booklist (starred review)"King is a genius at writing love stories . . . Her mostly sunny version of the campus novel is an enjoyable alternative to the current vogue for dark academia. Tragedies are on the way, though, as we know they must be, as nothing gold can stay and these darn fictional characters seem to make the same kinds of stupid mistakes that real people do. Tenderhearted readers will soak the pages of the last chapter with tears. That college love affair you never got over? Come wallow in this gorgeous version of it."--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)ABOUT PICTURE BOOKPicture Book is a local independent bookstore founded in 2020 inside the co-working and event space HudCo in Dobbs Ferry, New York. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/bd9e7ec0-ec5d-11f0-a075-5dd995e599df-rimg-w485-h740-dcf78122-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/dobbs-ferry/pb-book-club-heart-the-lover-by-lily-king/100001979889466692 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Dobbs Ferry - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: HudCo - **lat**: 41.0167909 - **long**: -73.87801689999998 - **full address**: HudCo, 145 Palisade Street, Dobbs Ferry, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d1991ddce8ea5f511813ff981c62be1e9841e2901fcd974637902086a7b166f1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc71ab7f-gmir.jpg?v=1767854823 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King being held? - **A:** PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King takes place on Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm to Wed, 21 Jan, 2026 at 09:30 pm at HudCo, 145 Palisade Street, Dobbs Ferry, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King? - **A:** PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King is organized by HudCo. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "PB Book Club: Heart the Lover by Lily King", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/d1991ddce8ea5f511813ff981c62be1e9841e2901fcd974637902086a7b166f1-rimg-w1200-h600-dc71ab7f-gmir.jpg?v=1767854823", "startDate": "2026-01-21", "endDate": "2026-01-21", "url": "https://allevents.in/dobbs-ferry/pb-book-club-heart-the-lover-by-lily-king/100001979889466692", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "HudCo", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "145 Palisade Street", "postalCode": "10522", "addressLocality": "Dobbs Ferry", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "41.0167909", "longitude": "-73.87801689999998" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Open to all.
