Book Club: Fantasy!
Fantasy Book Club: The Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley
Location: The Book Lounge, 631 Central Avenue
Date: Wednesday, July 8th, 2026 | 6:30–8:00 PM
Falling in love is utterly irritating, isn't it?
Join us for another meeting of The Book Lounge’s Fantasy Book Club as we dive into Part One of our club's first duology set!
July's meeting will feature The Irresistible Urge To Fall For Your Enemy by Brigitte Knightley—a charming, witty, and occasionally raunchy tale of a healer and an assassin who are paired up to save the murderer from becoming a corpse himself.
This meeting is perfect for readers who love intricate world-building, morally complex characters, dark spice, and stories that explore morality, forbidden love, and the cost of survival. Expect immersive discussion, bold theories, and deep dives into character choices and magic systems. A glass of wine is included to keep the conversation flowing as we unravel this richly imagined world together.
In August, we will continue the duology with Part Two: The Exquisite Torment of Loving Your Enemy set to release July 7th—the day before our Part One's meeting!
