What’s the nightmare scenario for anyone who’s dated a creative person? Having your relationship show up in their work. If it can happen to Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze (Her and Lost in Translation), it could happen to you. In Cherry Baby, protagonist Cherry tastes that unfortunate notoriety. Her soon-to-be-ex husband’s webcomic has skyrocketed with a film adaptation in the works, and features Cherry in a less than flattering light. BookPeople hosts author Rainbow Rowell, whose past work has cycled from YA to fantasy to adult fiction, for a talk-back and reading. – Cat McCarrey
