BEFORE I LET GO x SEVEN DAYS IN JUNE

When ready to give up on dating, one woman meets the man of her dreams through an unlikely matchmaker—her ex-husband, who clings tight to a gut-wrenching secret that’s bound to devastate the most intimate relationships in his life.

After a week of sleeping, another of waiting for tears to fall, a third spent surviving on pastries, pizza, and pasta, and a final week binging Sex and the City and Insecure, I’ve officially had enough of rotting on the couch in grief.

There are a handful of songs that really capture the vibe...but the title song, "Intimate Friends" by Eddie Kendricks is really the entire moment, inspiration, and heart of the book #RomComMarch

A writer I really admire told me my novel put her in the mind of throwbacks like Terry McMillan. BRB going to weep.

Writing the book was easy (enough), editing was (painfully) easy, but querying? I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT LIKE THIS.

HAPPY PLACE + EVERY SUMMER AFTER = NONE OF THIS WAS REAL

If you love someone, let them go and if they come back for your sister's wedding, then nothing can possibly go wrong.

She broke his heart years ago. She wants him back. He doesn’t trust her. But should she even trust him?

❤️‍🔥 When their rivalry reaches an all-time high and sugar-coated lies turn to bitter truths, will they be able to achieve their desires w/o getting burned or will all they’ve worked for end up in flames?

I really love my book a whole lot and really soon, I hope an agent falls in love with it too 🥹

discussing, sharing, experiencing music together is top tier intimacy.
You can tell a lot about the quality of lover a man or woman is by their music listening habits.

First date, we’re discussing favorite songs and artists.

Zendaya and Tom Holland being engaged makes me perhaps unreasonably happy. I'm really rooting for them.
