Something about the weeks just before a book comes out feels a little like standing on the edge of summer—full of anticipation, a little bit of magic, and just enough nerves to remind you that, this thing you’ve spent well over a year pouring your heart into? It matters!
Summer State of Mind is a story about friendship, second chances, and finding your way back to yourself… the kind of story I think so many of us need right now.
And the best part? I get to come celebrate it with you!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be traveling up and down the East Coast, across the country, and back home again, and I would truly love to see you along the way. There is nothing that means more to me than getting to hug you in real life and say thank you for making these stories possible, for making my writing dreams come true.
If you’ve been thinking about preordering, this is the perfect time—and if I’m coming anywhere near you, I hope you’ll make a plan to join me.
