Baseball + Romance Books = the best night ever! Thank you to Kelly .actually and for putting together an amazing event 🫶🏻 I had a blast sharing Yes, Chef ARCs from , hanging out with so many wonderful readers and my loves and , and soaking in a beautiful spring Syracuse night. (It was a little chilly for this Florida gal, but everyone assured me it was top notch for the season!) Nothing beats getting to be part of this truly amazing community of book lovers :’)

Also, so cool to hang out with the guys —wait until you see the content we cooked up together! 🤭

March photo dump— it was a good month :’) I turned 30, wrote some good words, read some good books, held Yes, Chef in my hands, had a visit from my bestie, and spent tons of time with the tiny love of my life 🫶🏻 My photos app is 90% Hazel at this point (alternate names include Princess Noodle, Hazel Basil, Miss Hazelton, Worm Girl, and Rat). Feat. my parents’ puppy Finn, ofc!

Also - lots of you read Yes, Chef in March 🩷🩷 you’re making me tear up on a daily basis by this point, thank you for loving Jack & Poppy like I do!

When he’s down bad (!!) from the first kiss 🙂‍↕️ Swipe to see this absolutely gorgeous rendition of Jack & Poppy’s first kiss in YES, CHEF (and get a sneak peek of the scene) by .art 🫶🏻🫶🏻

When I first discovered brandi’s art, I knew exactly what I wanted them to illustrate—this achingly desperate moment led by Jack, braid tug and bubbles and all. I’ve been obsessed with it since I first saw it and I am so excited that this is one of two (!!) gorgeous art prints you’ll receive if you preorder from UK-based !

YES, CHEF comes out 7.21.26 🩷💛 if you’re into grumpy chefs with trauma and tattoos, sunshine women with something to prove, adhd rep, cooking lessons, only! one! houseboat! and high heat in and out of the kitchen, consider adding it to your TBR and supporting with a preorder 🫶🏻
