Is it bad form to comment if you’re the author, and more importantly, is it bad form to squeal in delight and jump up and down and clap your hands? Seriously: thank you so, so much. ❤️

You’re so so welcome!! I’m so glad I was able to read it and share it. And… ok so apparently either I know nothing, or you refused to title the other book “how to 💯guarantee your kid writes an essay that gets them into an Ivy or Stanford”. 😂

Oh, and not to swamp the comments but I laughed out loud when you said the first book was probably more marketable to publishers. I mean, you would think so— I actually had an agent for the first book, and the agent was very excited about the first book (memoir-plus, etc.). And then it was rejected 72 times in the course of six months and I ended up going with a hybrid publisher.
