When I saw this stunning special edition, I couldnโt resist. Just look at it! Gilded edges, elegant endpapers, and a story that dares to ask: Would you want to know how long you have to live? Some special editions are truly works of artโand this one? A keeper.

I held off on the hardback in 2023โit was gorgeous but far too oversized for my tote. The paperback, released May 6, is a perfect fit. Chic and portable! #booksky

Every revision sharpens intent and deepens meaning. Itโs slow work, but itโs the work that matters.

Deleted it a while back because I didn't like the cartoonish of it all.
But otherwise, it would be a hard a fast "delete!"
This resonated deeply. As an emerging author, I feel the sameโI want to write the novel I want to write, regardless of how it's received. Looking forward to that next novel!
