Hello!

THE NOWHERE GIRLS comes out in FOUR MONTHS! I am so excited to share this book that is so close to my heart. And I don’t know about you, but I think stories of girls coming together to resist rape culture and sexism are pretty damn important right now.

You can PRE-ORDER NOW at your favorite online retailers, including this one. It will be in bookstores OCTOBER 10th.

Here are my upcoming events. Stay tuned for updates.
