"Objectifies men, targets white people." Lionsgate needs to put that on the poster!
#JoyRide is embarrassing. Incredibly unpleasant. Like most modern adult "comedies" it's raunchy simply to be raunchy, forgetting there has to be humor attached, and there's none of that. Objectifies men, targets white people. All shock value, "look at me" attitude.

Finished a young adult novel, The Noh Family. What a great summer read! @gracemisplaced1 nails it when a HS girl discovers a family after taking a 23andme test. So glad I heard about it at #KidLitSummerCamp. Thanks for the recommendation @writewithsara! @penguinusa @Andreaagency

Like me, Riley is trying to find acceptance in places that aren’t always accepting. Sometimes it feels impossible, but sometimes you find light in the most unexpected places 💫💫 To those who need to hear it, you belong 💜💜💜

Cover reveal! From @gracemisplaced1 comes #NotYourAverageJo, a YA standalone that follows a Korean American teen navigating the treacherous world of nepo babies and cultural appropriation that is the LA music scene. 🎸 See the cover➡️ bit.ly/NotAverageJoCover

Writing this book has been A Journey—both personally and professionally. Like me, Riley is trying to find acceptance in places that aren’t always accepting. Sometimes it feels impossible, but sometimes you find light in the most unexpected places 💖💖💖
