{{Giveaway Over, Winners notified via DM!)}} One year ago, this book baby was born. The Unexpected Consequence of Bleeding on a Tuesday has changed my life in so many ways, and I am so grateful that it's had such an amazing first year.
💕
It became a USA Today Bestseller, a YALSA best fiction for teens top ten title, a RISE project top ten title, a nominated title on four state best book lists and dozens of library system recommended reading lists.
💕
I love this book so much, and I am so glad I was able to bring some humor to the very UNfunny experience of living with endometriosis and other invisible illnesses.
💕
I am giving away three copies of the hardcover (continental US only) or the amazing audiobook narrated by @marawilson to celebrate, and all you have to do to enter is comment below.
💕
Thank you all so much for the support.

(Finally, if you've read the book and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a review in the usual places and telling a friend about it!)

It was so wonderful being in conversation with @fredtjoseph and @sjsindu this weekend! Contemporary, brave, and honest YA is SO important. Young people NEED to see the realities of their world reflected back to them. It was wonderful to talk these important authors about their important books. I am so grateful to @ektwrites for moderating and guiding us through such a great discussion! 💕
