All the Pretty Author Blurbs...


It's always a bit scary when a new book makes its way out into the world and readers lay their eyes on it for the first time. Even more stressful is the moment when another author reads it. ðŸ˜¬ Multiply that times six, and you'll have a sense of the anxiety I was feeling when the manuscript of HOW TO DISAPPEAR was sent off to six of my favorite YA authors in hopes that they might like it enough to offer a blurb. Yikes!

One by one—much to my relief—they came back with the loveliest responses imaginable. Here they are, presented in a rainbow of colors that 1) are a nod to Instagram, which plays an important role in the story; and 2) reflect the heart-bursting joy I felt upon receiving these!









You can preorder HOW TO DISAPPEAR here and here and here and here, add it to Goodreads here and—if you really want to get crazy—you can vote for it on Goodreads lists here and here

I'll be participating in the YA Scavenger Hunt, April 4-9, which will give you two chances to win an advance reader copy of HOW TO DISAPPEAR. Don't miss it! You can also follow the Instagram account for @vicurious, the main character of this novel, where you can get to know her a bit and also find out about other giveaways and book news.
