...hello disassociates...
We’re Jess & Beccah: two slightly unhinged, fiction devouring friends turning our obsession into full-blown themed book experiences. What started as spicy book chats spiraled in the best way, into a brand with Blind Date with a Book events, themed photoshoots, book retreat planning, chaos, and curated bookish magic.

ABOUT
Our Next themed book Event
Dark Summer:
Secrets & Suspects
A Mystery Book Event in Jacksonville
Looking for unique things to do in Jacksonville this summer? Step into an immersive mystery experience unlike any other. Dark Summer: Secrets & Suspects is a one-night interactive book event where guests become part of the story.
When a highly anticipated manuscript vanishes without a trace, attendees are pulled into a world of secrets, lies, and hidden alliances. This isn’t your typical book club—this is a fully interactive mystery night where you can choose your level of involvement. Become a suspect with secrets to protect, an investigator racing to solve the case, or an insider quietly holding crucial clues.
Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, dark suspense, and secret society storylines, this Jacksonville book event blends storytelling, puzzle-solving, and social gameplay into an unforgettable night. Expect curated “blind date with a book” selections, immersive challenges, and a storyline that unfolds in real time.
Whether you’re searching for book events in Jacksonville, unique events in Jax, or something completely different to do this summer, Dark Summer: Secrets & Suspects delivers an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Spots are limited.
Secrets won’t stay hidden forever.
The manuscript was never meant to be found.
It was supposed to debut for one night only…
Until it disappeared.
Now, the room is full of suspects.
Secrets are already unraveling.
And someone is lying.
Dark Summer: Secrets & Suspects isn’t just an event—it’s a story you walk into.
Will you solve it… or be part of it?
