Film adaptations of her novels Happiness for Beginners and The Lost Husband both reached the global Top 10 on Netflix.
About The Shippers:
JoJo Burton, fed up with her failed love life, decides to fix her intimacy issues at her sister’s cruise-ship wedding by pursuing her first crush—a newly divorced guest—for “closure.” She enlists her estranged childhood best friend, Cooper, who unexpectedly shows up after years away and a painful falling-out, to help her. As they fake flirt and navigate wedding chaos together, old feelings resurface, forcing them to confront their past and reconsider what they truly mean to each other.
