Giunti Odeon events are back with a very special guest: Felicia Kingsley, the queen of romance, returns to present her latest book Scandal in Hollywood (Newton Compton Editori) alongside Serena Dottore Giachino.

From August 6, you can pre-order your copy at Giunti Odeon! With the preorder, you’ll receive a pass for the priority signing line.

Useful information:

• The priority pass is available with the preorder of the book made in-store, or with the purchase of the book (in-store only) from the release date until the day of the event. Passes will be distributed in time slots.

• In the priority line, you must show both the pass and your receipt.

• Once the priority line is complete, anyone who has not purchased the book from us (and therefore has no pass) will be allowed into the signing.

• The number of books that can be signed depends on the author’s availability (we recommend prioritizing the new release).

The book:

Sofia Cortez has always dreamed of working as an investigative journalist in the newsroom of a major newspaper. The harsh reality, however, has her stuck at the desk of Hollywood and Beyond, a publication on the brink of collapse which, to avoid losing sponsors, asks her to cover what she hates most: gossip.

Hayden West—better known as “Wild Wild West”—is the king of gossip: every celebrity fears him, no secret is safe from him, and he always knows everything before anyone else. His tell-all book UnHollywood tops every bestseller list. Long-time rivals since their university days, Hayden and Sofia lead opposite yet parallel lives… until they find themselves chasing the same story. The cutthroat competition reignites at first glance, triggering a battle for the ultimate scoop.

Under the Hollywood spotlight, between exclusive parties and investigations skirting the edge of legality, Hayden and Sofia might discover that teaming up could be more useful than fighting—especially when the sparks between them threaten to set everything ablaze.

The author:

She debuted with Matrimonio di convivenza (“Marriage of Convenience”), initially self-published and later republished by Newton Compton. The publisher has also released Stronze si nasce (2020), Una Cenerentola a Manhattan (2020), La verità è che non ti odio abbastanza (2021), Bugiarde si diventa (2021), Due cuori in affitto (2022), Non è un paese per single (2022), Ti aspetto a Central Park (2022), as well as the novellas Il mio regalo inaspettato (2022), Appuntamento in terrazzo (2022), Una ragazza d’altri tempi (2023), Una conquista fuori menù (2024), and Ex Files. Il diario delle tue disavventure amorose (2024).

She writes under a pseudonym: “Felicia is a name very similar to my real one, and it has always inspired me as a good omen, a wish for happiness. Kingsley is a surname I often used for my fictional characters when I wrote fanfiction in high school, and I kept it out of affection.”
