 Elle, Elle, Elle. Sit down. *pats couch* Let's talk.

Just a little chat. That's it.

About how, at one point, I screamed so loud at my Kindle I scared the bejesus out of my doggos. No, really.

For a debut novel, this had my heart on the floor. This is a slow, slow, slow burn for spice. Nearly 85K in before the whisper of anything more than a kiss but man oh man was it worth it.

Dylan is so incredibly relatable, and the experiences she had with the backlash of social media in telling her truth are so important to share. Poignant, terrifying, and so true. Thank you for making her a fierce believer in bodily autonomy and so unapologetically herself.

Now, Jack. Jack, my boy. Jack-a-rino. What are we going to do with him? Seriously. He is both several people I know and also my next book boyfriend. Stick up the butt? Absolutely. With good reason? Fo sho. Obviously in love with Dylan from the get go? Also a yes. But was totally here for it.

Thanks so much for sharing their story with us - I'm so excited to see what you do next.
