#3 in combined print and #2 in paperback.
When I got the news, first I laughed, cried, and felt like puking in the span of 30 seconds. And then I looked at the books I was next to on the list.
The number one spot belongs to a book called Theo of Golden. I read it last year, back when it was self-published, because my pastor recommended it to me.
The last slide of this post is a clip of the author (Allen Levi) talking. I just had to share because it felt like such a full circle moment to be on the list with him.
A friend of his gave him the advice: “Always remember, at the end of the day, the thing that matters most is the applause of the nail scarred hands.”
Before writing Just Friends, I asked God if I should. I really believe that He led me to write so that I could process grief.
If it can now bring any catharsis to you, any joy, that amazes me beyond belief.
God promises a crown of beauty for ashes to those who mourn. He takes dead things and brings them to life. I have to laugh. He’s always weaving stories I never see coming.
First half of book tour has been more than a dream come true.

I loved meeting and chatting to the girlypops turned reader pops. Seeing your faces in real life was more special than I even anticipated. (And my anticipation was great!)
Thank you to the bookstore owners, employees, moderators, and event coordinators that made each night run so smoothly!
And thank you to everyone tagging me as you dive into Just Friends! It is way too exciting to see it in your hands in your own homes. Or at the pool. Or the beach. 🏖️
