This message made me so happy! If you love a book, tell the author 🥰

Screenshot of a text that reads: I found a copy of your book in a small bookstore in Indianapolis and read it in two days. It made me laugh and cry and feel things I haven’t felt in a very long time. Thank you for writing it and sharing it with the world.
