Jennette McCurdy returns to The Town Hall, this time to celebrate the release of her debut novel: Half His Age (Ballantine Books). From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died comes a sad, funny, thrilling novel about sex, consumerism, class, desire, loneliness, the internet, rage, intimacy, power, and the (oftentimes misguided) lengths we’ll go to in order to get what we want.
All tickets include a SIGNED copy of Half His Age. The author will not be personalizing copies at the event. Doors open at 6:30pm, with the event beginning at 7pm. This event is presented in partnership with Barnes & Noble Booksellers. Tickets begin at $50 and are available now.
Jennette McCurdy is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of I’m Glad My Mom Died, winner of the 2023 American Library Association Alex Award. The book has been published in more than thirty countries and has sold more than three million copies.
