I think you would be into the Spunes, OR set series. It feels very West Coast in the best way.

Sophie! You must start your journey to Spunes, OR (not to be confused with Forks, WA). Start with SAVOR IT, and then you'll be ready for LEFT OF FOREVER when it releases later this month.

YOU'RE WELCOME

I loved this so much! Shoved onto stage of an open mic night would be my worst nightmare, and yet debuting definitely feels similar—and so many of us are choosing that. 🫣

There is a unique vulnerability in putting yourself out there. Just remember all the times when reading someone's book made you feel seen and understood. I know that there will be countless readers who feel that way about THE TRUTH IS IN THE DETOURS
