D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding by Chencia C. Higgins

For the May 2nd book club, we have chosen *D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding* by Chencia C. Higgins: This month, we’re leaning into something fun, flirty, and full of delicious chaos. We’re diving into *D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding* by Chencia C. Higgins; a sapphic romance that brings together fake dating, reality TV drama, and two women who absolutely did not plan on falling in love. D’Vaughn is charming, easygoing, and commitment-avoidant. Kris is driven, organized, and determined to win. When they both sign up for a reality TV show where couples compete to prove their love (and walk away with a cash prize), they agree to fake a relationship to play the game. But between staged wedding challenges, family expectations, and the pressure of performing love for the cameras, their pretend relationship starts to feel very real. This book is full of humor, tension, and heart, exploring what happens when love grows in the most unexpected places. It’s a story about vulnerability, ambition, and the messy, beautiful line between what we plan and what we actually feel. Join us for an evening of lively discussion, laughter, and all the chaos of a romance that refuses to stay pretend. As always, our book club is a warm and welcoming space; whether you’ve finished the book or simply want to listen and be part of the conversation.  Sign up and read along with us, we’d love to have you there.  And don’t forget, you can always stop by the store to grab your copy of *D’Vaughn and Kris Plan a Wedding* at Pride & Petals ( 6607 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland, CA 94609)
