YW Boston will host its 31st Annual Academy of Women Achievers on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Westin Copley Place in Boston.

All She Wrote Books

Join All She Wrote Books on Thursday, June 4th at 7:00pm, as we welcome author Samantha Allen! We are SO EXCITED to celebrate the release of Samantha's latest laugh out loud novel — Puck! In this A Midsummer Night's Dream-inspired romcom, Puck is a reality show producer and agent of chaos with a talent for bringing people together . . . and tearing them apart.

This book launch event will include a moderated discussion with author and friend of the bookstore, TJ Alexander, an audience Q&amp;A, and signings by both authors! 

"Inclusivity" isn't just a buzzword to us. We make every effort to ensure our space and events are accessible to and for everyone. If you or someone in your party needs accommodations, please email us at <a target="_blank" href="https://mailto:info@allshewrotebooks.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">info@allshewrotebooks.com</a>.

About Puck
Meet Puck: the nonbinary, thirty-year-old mastermind behind "Homewreckers", a dating show that puts troubled couples through hell—with a little help from their exes. Used to being the one pulling the strings, it shocks Puck when their life undergoes a plot twist of its own and their college roommate Mia announces her engagement to her ex’s best friend, Damon. Having only recently broken up with longtime-boyfriend Zander, and never having had much in common with Damon (who lovesick Lena has always pined after), Mia’s news leaves her friend group reeling—and Puck’s mind whirling. &nbsp;

When they arrive for a week of wedding festivities at an upscale resort in the Appalachian forest, Puck immediately sees that Mia’s marriage will lead to misery, and takes it upon themself to save their friends by rearranging the couples—without anyone finding out. But as Puck comes up against a type-A maid of honor hell-bent on making this wedding happen, it becomes clear that they will have to deliver the greatest stunt of their career. If only they can take their eyes off the bridesmaid. After all, the course of true love never did run smooth…&nbsp;

Written with Samantha Allen’s signature charm, wit, and an irresistible dose of Shakespearian mischief, Puck is the ultimate romcom for our chaotic era, and a celebration of the friendships that carry us through it all.

About the Authors
Samantha Allen&nbsp;is the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist Real Queer America: LGBT Stories from Red States&nbsp;and a GLAAD Award-winning journalist. Her writing has been published by the New York Times, Rolling Stone, <a target="_blank" href="https://cnn.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">CNN.com</a>, and more.

Dan LaMorte is a distinct voice in stand-up comedy—and not just because he’s on the spectrum. He began his comedy career at 19, after a college baseball injury ended his athletic ambitions. Dan made appearances on Fox’s Red Eye, AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live, Getting Doug with High, and, as he jokes, nearly every drive-thru in the Tri-state area. His two albums, Not Enough Pieces and Infect Me Once, remain popular on SiriusXM and have collectively earned over a million streams on Pandora.
By 23, Dan had built a promising comedy résumé—and a 354-pound body. But a diagnosis of fatty liver disease sparked a dramatic lifestyle change. Over the next three years, he lost more than 185 pounds, became an ultra runner (competing in races longer than marathons), and inspired countless fans to pursue their own wellness journeys. The transformation may have reshaped his life, but his sharp, self-aware humor remains unchanged.
In 2023, Dan was selected as a New Face at the prestigious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. He followed it up with a standout Don’t Tell Comedyset, released in 2024. Based in New York City, Dan is a regular at the Comedy Cellar, The Stand, and other top clubs—continuing to bring his unique perspective, resilience, and punchlines to audiences nationwide.
