Lit After Dark: Climax & Cliffhangers
Where San Diego’s Book Baddies gather to sip, scream, and spiral over spicy plot twists, disastrous decisions, and the fictional partners we’d absolutely risk it all for.

This month, the stakes are high and the books are filthy, we’re back with Book Baddie Showdown, and the reigning champs are ready to defend their crown. Think you’ve got the brains, boldness, and unhinged opinions to snatch it?

🔥 Tension so thick it deserves a trigger warning
💋 Lovers who slay (and also slay-slay)
📚 Book recs dirtier than your search history
🎉 4 rounds of savage trivia, unholy takes, and prizes worthy of your smuttiest selves

If you’ve ever:

Whispered “just one more chapter” then blacked out at 4AM

Defended a morally gray love interest like they were your actual partner

Used fan art as therapy
…then this night was written for you.

✨ It’s a ladies night, made for women, femmes, and book baddies who know their spice and aren’t afraid to scream about it. Come solo or bring your fellow degenerates. Either way, you’re gonna need backup.

🚫 No door sales. You must snag your ticket in advance to enter the chaos.

🎟 Space is limited. Claim your seat now and let’s find out who can handle the climax and who’s left with the cliffhanger.
