Hello lovelies,

It’s been a pretty quiet two weeks here in Penelopeland. Who else is having a hard time getting back into the swing of school drop-offs and pick-ups? 

After getting completely out of my routine over the summer, I’m slowly making my way back into the land of daily morning writing time, which is good news for you!

Also, look how cute my dog is:

She's a total diva but I love her anyways, even if she hogs the bed. If you follow me on Instagram, she makes appearances there pretty regularly.

What’s New?

I’m about 2/3 of the way through this new book, fingers crossed that I’m past the murky middle and on the home stretch!

I’ve also been beta reading for an author friend and can’t wait until I can share this book with you. I’ll just say this: boarding school, drummer, enemies-to-lovers.

What’s Next?

Getting to the end of this book! Figuring out the cover! Cloning myself so I can keep up with all my various commitments!

Okay, that last one might be a little far-fetched, but a girl can dream, right?

Want to Try Something New?

I just added this book to my TBR, check it out!

Sometimes we have to let go of who we are to embrace who we can become.

Mason Vance is the guy everybody wants to be, and he knows it. He’s the best high school quarterback in New York, a shoo-in for a football scholarship at any school he chooses, and he’s expected to land in the NFL one day. That is, until a broken wrist leaves him fearing whether he’ll ever play again.

Desperate to save his damaged ego, Mason sets his sights on Lace. No cheerleader or homecoming queen like his usual type, she’s too wrapped in her own misery to fall for his pickup lines. Even though she tries to shut him out, she’s surprised to find he’s there for her when no one else is. Slowly, she lets him into the sad workings of her mind and less-than-perfect life, and Mason finds himself caring about Lace more than he’d ever thought possible. That’s why neither of them sees his huge mistake coming—one that instantly fractures everything between them.

Will Mason confront the ugliest side of himself, and in the process see who he’s capable of becoming, or will he fall back into the life he knew before Lace and his injury?

For contemporary young adult fiction fans comes a bold debut that is raw, relatable, and real. Fractured is a moving tribute to the fragility of human nature and its ability to destroy even the most powerful connections.

Until next time!

Stay amazing,

Penelope
