Grateful for yet another order of books. Just in t Grateful for yet another order of books. Just in time for You & Me, For Real’s first birthday! 🥰

I think this is my 6th? 7th order? And here I thought that first order of books was going to last me the whole year. Sorry I was wrong, boo (@jeffrey_elliott_art). I’ve never been more pleased to be proved wrong. 

So incredibly grateful to all the friends, family, and complete strangers that gave this sweet, little romance a try. And especially thank you to anyone who has left a review or sent me a message or text. Your words are each a little nudge of encouragement to try this again. 🫶

WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO??! Like, truly, where WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO??! Like, truly, where is the time going?? 😫

Ps been quiet on socials. Mostly because I’m just too busy to mess with it or think about it or care. Instead, I’m trying to enjoy the summertime with my kids. If I let myself, I can get so sad thinking of how few summers I already have left before they’re grown. 🥹 I mean, honestly, they were just born!! 

PPS I’m sorry for not always posting bookish content. I get tired of pushing my own book and am too lazy for pretty bookish posts. My favorite summer reads so far are: Dolly All the Time and Shattered King. Next up on my TBR is: Brighter Than Before and Star-Crossed Summer. 😍

Hope you’re enjoying your summer too! What’s been your favorite part?

You & Me, For Real is a sweet contemporary celebrity-trope romance with loads of swoon, wit, banter, charm, and plenty of fun reminiscent of those feel-good 90’s rom com movies. (Plus, dogs, of course.) 

A former reality TV star has to fight her anxiety (and her sour history with celebrity life) as she’s pulled closer to the limelight when a Hollywood heartthrob adopts a rescue and recruits her to train it. Sparks start to fly between the two, but a PR fake-dating relationship with his co-star complicates things. Can they navigate the heat of the spotlight, without both getting burned?
