hi all, i am here with a quick lil' update:
RIVALS is being published!READ THE NEXT CHAPTER FOR THE COVER REVEAL!
i am so thrilled to finally be able to share this with you guys! keeping this secret for a year was seemingly impossible, and i hope you're as excited as i am!! AHHH!!
here's the important information:
—the new title is THE UPSIDE OF FALLING (thoughts?!)
—it is being published by HarperTeen (omfg!!!!!!)
—it will be for sale February 2020
—the book will remain for free on Wattpad! however, the published version is completely new. i re-wrote about 75% of it, so there are brand new chapters, content, characters, etc! definitely worth the buy in my biased opinion. hehe. AND YES, it is still about Brett and Becca, of course. just a newer (and better) story of theirs is being told.
SOOO. . . WHAT DO WE THINK!?
now let me get in my feels for a minute:
being a published writer has been my life's goal since i was ten-years-old. all i've ever wanted to experience was that moment of walking into a bookstore and finding my own book. i am so thrilled, grateful, happy, excited, humbled, and beyond bewildered as to how this happened to me.
SO THANK YOU TO WATTPAD, MY READERS, THE PEOPLE AT HARPER COLLINS and everyone who has supported me and made my dreams come true. i have never felt the level of happiness that i did when Wattpad gave me a call and told me about the book deal.
one last thing . . . harper teen. HARPER FREAKING TEEN. you guys!!! they have been my dream publisher since i was a kid! i used to hunt through shelves looking for any book with their logo on it. i am so so so (so so so to infinity) happy and still in disbelief they chose my book to publish.
ok one more thing: the cover is amazing. seriously. i cannot wait to show it to you guys. it's a hardcover and it's beautiful and it's my first born child, wow! at the young age of twenty-one. i'm a mom.
and that is all! follow me on:

THE UPSIDE OF FALLING is coming next year, and i cannot wait for you all to read this brand new version of Brett and Becca's love story.
