{{Giveaway below!)}} One year ago, this book baby

{{Giveaway below!)}} 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 @fr

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! 💕

Had the MOST fun on stage last night at the kickoff storytelling party for the @va_humanities Festival of the Book! I shared a story that made people laugh and also almost vanish from the earth by way of second hand embarrassment: my specialty. 😁

Come see me at 2pm
at @new_dominion_bookshop for a fantastic panel discussion about young people and the stories we write for them.

I’m so excited to be heading to Charlottesville,

IT’S FUNNY, okay? It’s about periods and it’s FUNNY. I’m channeling my inner @deandrawrites and saying, what are you waiting for? If you or anyone you know has ever had a period, I’m talking to you. 💕

Thank you so much, @ala_booklist!
