Just found you through Cheryl Strayed.

I feel like a Fan Girl, having ordered three of your books this moment.

Thank you for writing.

Just, thank you.

I'm so very excited to see you in SF! I cannot wait. Madwoman is such an incredible book and I've told everyone I know to pre-order it and can't wait to see it out in the world! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I read it. Things I've loved lately: All Fours by Miranda July, Margo's Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe, and Housemates by Emma Copley Eisenberg. Beauty-wise, I'm really into Armani Fluid Sheer (the pink blushy one) and Rare Beauty mascara.

Travel hacks: I am a bad sleeper in my *own* bed so travel can really mess with me. My best hacks are a NodPod weighted eye mask (also great at home, you can put it in the freezer, which is lovely) for calming my nervous system and blocking out weird lights in the hotel, This Works Deep Sleep Spray, Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones for flying and falling asleep, and Touchland hand sanitizer.

My ultimate travel hack is the CofixRX nasal spray (I'm planning to try the throat spray, too). I used it every day last winter and avoided most colds, and also used it on an international trip and didn't get sick on the plane. Highly recommend when you're traveling! https://cofixrx.com/shopping/

Counting down the days until I get to see you in Chicago…and the book makes its way to my mailbox (already preordered!). So glad you get to have a real book tour. It’s so deserved.
