9 DAYS & 9 NIGHTS is here!

9 DAYS & 9 NIGHTS is out today! I am so excited that frankly you’d think I was the one headed out on a sexy, madcap European vacation.

When we left Molly Barlow at the end of 99 DAYS, she was headed for college in Boston–and away from the humiliation and heartbreak of her complicated relationships with Gabe and Patrick Donnelly. A year later she’s moved on–from both the romantic drama that surrounded her in Star Lake and the unexpected consequences that followed her off to school. She’s on a backpacking trip to Europe with her sweet, bookish new boyfriend Ian when she looks across the Underground platform…

and locks eyes with the one who got away.

I feel really strongly about not writing a sequel unless you’re super sure you’ve got more story to tell, and it was such a treat to check in with Molly again to see what she’d learned–and what she hadn’t–since the events of 99 DAYS. 9 DAYS & 9 NIGHTS is about second chances,  tough choices, and deciding what kind of person you want to be when you grow up–and also navigating ancient European plumbing, getting in screaming fights on top of the Eiffel Tower, and eating a metric ton of croissants. 

You can pick up 9 DAYS & 9 NIGHTS at your local independent bookstore, at Target (where the special edition contains an exclusive prequel chapter from Gabe’s POV) or wherever books are sold, and while it’s technically the sequel to 99 DAYS, I like to think it holds up just fine on its own. But, I mean, if you’re worried, obviously feel free to buy both.

Happy release day, friends! I am so, so grateful you’re all still here.
