Announcing my next YA Book Release!
I'm super thrilled to announce my next YA Contemporary book! I wrote this back in 2017 and it's held a special place in my heart ever since. It's got girl power & best friend energy, and everything you liked from SASHA but without as much pain and sadness. A few years ago, I'd mentioned this [...]
