BOOK LAUNCH: "It Had to Be Him" by Anittha Thanabalan (Epigram Books)

  • Book Bar 57 Duxton Rd Singapore 089521 Singapore (map)

New YA series, Book 2—and a story where love gets messy.

What happens when feelings are unspoken, expectations don’t match and everything you thought was steady starts to crack?

Join us for the launch of It Had to Be Him (Book 2)—a YA novel about friendship, first love, and the moments where things almost fall apart.

✨ A cosy Sunday afternoon at Book Bar
✨ A chat with the author about how the story deepens in Book 2
✨ Short discussion + audience Q&A

Whether you’re a YA reader, a book clubber, or just curious about contemporary Singapore stories—come hang out with us.
