Film projects include the upcoming DON'T SAY GOOD LUCK (Netflix), while books include ONE-STAR ROMANCE, a Book of the Month pick that The Washington Post calls "real, refreshing and romantic," THE DAYDREAMS, one of the "Best Beach Reads of 2023" (Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, and more), HAPPY & YOU KNOW IT, a Book of the Month and Library Reads selection, and A SPECIAL PLACE FOR WOMEN, as seen on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
