Ever After 2025 was Toronto’s first romance book festival, and even two weeks later I’m still thinking about how magical it was. Hosted by TIFA and presented by Rakuten Kobo, the three-day event brought together authors, readers, workshops, panels, and the unforgettable Ever After Ball. From Tarot readings and High Tea to inspiring author talks by Jenny Colgan, Keeley Armstrong, Uzma Jalalludin, Lori Dyan, and more, the festival completely transformed how I view the romance genre. A Christmas blind date with a book was the perfect finishing touch to an already enchanting weekend.
