So much fun at A Great Good Place for Books! Thank you for eight years of amazing support Kathleen Caldwell. And now I think it’s official that Jandy Nelson and I cannot be in the same room together without cracking each other up. Thank you so much to everyone who came out to celebrate The Love We Found.
“Santa Monica, I swear it’s calling me…”
I had such a blast at my tour stop in LA! Visiting Zibby’s Book Shop for the first time was a total dream—thank you so much to the team there, to Andrea Robertson for the great conversation, and to all the family and friends—old and new—who came out for the event. Also loved exploring Montana Ave with Andrea and Jen Rofé and the spectacular pizza party at Amy Laura Ephron’s house. She even got a red velvet The Love We Found cake! How absolutely amazing is that?! Thank you, SoCal, for 27 unforgettable hours.
I had the most heartfelt conversation on Totally Booked with Zibby! We talked all things The Love We Found—from the inspiration behind revisiting Lucy’s story, to grief, motherhood, and the emotional rollercoaster of second chances. We even touched on the magic of Italy and the challenges of writing romance when life gets complicated. If you haven’t listened yet, I hope you do.
The Love We Found is out in stores today! When I started writing The Light We Lost more than a decade ago, I had no idea the ways in which that book would change my life. And I had absolutely no idea that readers would care enough about my characters to want a sequel.
From the bottom of my heart I (and Lucy and Gabe and Darren) want to thank every reader out there who read The Light We Lost, who recommended it to a friend, who chose it for a reading group, who posted about it on social media, who rated it online, who sent me DMs and emails about it—I am so grateful. This book is for all of you.
Thank you for letting my characters into your heart. And thank you, too, to Miriam Altshuler, Tara Singh Carlson and the whole team at Putnam Books and HQ Stories. Working with you all is one of the biggest honors of my life. Also: Reese’s Book Club — your support has been the most wonderful gift. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you to Oxford Exchange Bookstore, Annabel Monaghan, and all the amazing readers who came out for such a wonderful launch event for The Love We Found ! What a beautiful way to begin this tour.
I’m so honored to have been interviewed by The Nerd Daily. You can read what I had to say about Everything After — and a bunch of other things — here.
I had so much fun interviewing Andrea Robertson last night about her new book FORGED IN FIRE AND STARS in partnership with Mysterious Galaxy Books. If you’re a Game of Thrones fan I think you’ll love this one. Here’s the video!
Thank you so much to the East City Bookshop, Abby Maslin, and everyone who came by for our post-Valentine’s Day chat about love and loss.
The More Than Words paperback launch was at the Barnes & Noble Upper West Side, and included an interview with Laura Hankin, author of Happy & You Know It. I had such a great time—and hope everyone who came did too! Thank you for celebrating the paperback publication with me.
I had so much fun being interviewed by Kitty Zeldis about More Than Words for Lilith Magazine. If you want to check out what we talked about, you can click right over here: Interview with Kitty Zeldis
Thank you, Kitty!
I had so much fun chatting about a really wide range of topics with Katie Mather on her Out of Curiosity podcast. It is basically a pretty great representation of what it is like to be inside my brain. Thank you for having me, Katie!
I answered some questions about writing over here at Esther Rabbit’s blog including the advice I’d give to writers just starting out.
