Hi there.

Today is the day!

After ten years of brainstorming… three eye surgeries… a half re-written draft… and new covers…

It’s finally this girl’s book birthday!

“With numerous plot twists and surprising reveals, this epic story, which features a racially diverse cast, wraps up with a satisfying ending. An intricate and absorbing character-driven finale.” - Kirkus Reviews

Both Fairyloot (coming 8/20) and Owlcrate (available for pre-order now) are doing matching editions of MIRROR!

If you preordered your copy—thank you, thank you, thank you! If you order one today, or at any point this week—-thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so excited for you guys to finally have this book, and to be able to see how Tamsin’s story ends. If you end up loving the book, I would be eternally grateful if you’d take the time to drop a review on the book on GoodReads or a retailer site, even if it’s just a quick star review. This is one of the easiest things you can do to support an author and book during release week, and it actually does make a huge difference in this algorithm-driven world we live in.

Come see me on tour!
