Best of Boston

With shelves full of western romance, witchy romance, contemporary romance, plus regular ol’ fiction and book-themed gifts, Lovestruck isn’t just a place to shop for amorous tomes, but a gathering space as well: The Harvard Square bookstore hosts all manner of events, from author talks to release parties. But why wait to stop by? When we hosted our own Jane Austen book club with friends this spring, the in-house café and wine bar (not to mention the floral-laden patio) set the perfect vibe.
