The past few weeks since NOTHING SERIOUS came out has been a whirlwind but I have been LIVING for messages like these from readers💕💕

My debut novel is out in the world!! I stopped by my local bookstore, which I lived above 11 years ago when I first moved to NY, the year I decided (at 32) to try writing. The amount of rejection btwn then and now is unfathomable, but now I have a book on their shelves and I’m so very proud of it ❤️

Over here crying my eyes out after just receiving the box of final hardcovers. Thinking about how ten years ago I had an insane dream of writing a book, telling a very specific story of self-discovery about a single, childless 30-something woman in tech. Feels WILD to now hold it in my hands 🥹❤️📖

So honored to be on this list from @crimereads.bsky.social and LOVE their review, which nails so much of what the book is about.

Also, not my name next to Megan Abbott?? 🫠💕

Hii from your friend who is exactly THREE MONTHS from her very personal and very dark debut novel being out in the world and going a little bit insane with anxiety around the launch and also, of course, the world 👋😵‍💫🫣💃🫠 #writers #books

My debut, NOTHING SERIOUS, is out Feb 18! It explores online dating, obsession, childlessness, and more thru the lens of a 35 yr old woman in tech. It's a literary thriller of sorts, but the heart is a coming-of-age story about untangling from internalized misogyny. Pls consider checking it out!
