This Might Hurt is on sale today!

Feb 22, 2022

Hi friends—

The moment I have long awaited is finally here: my second novel, This Might Hurt, publishes in the US and Canada today!

(UK readers, you have one more week to wait.)

Here's what the book is about (in case you missed the 45 other times I've summarized it):

Natalie Collins hasn’t heard from her sister in more than half a year.

The last time they spoke, Kit was slogging from mundane workdays to obligatory happy hours to crying in the shower about their dead mother. She told Natalie she was sure there was something more out there.

And then she found Wisewood.

On a private island off the coast of Maine, Wisewood’s guests commit to six-month stays. During this time, they’re prohibited from contact with the rest of the world—no Internet, no phones, no exceptions. But the rules are for a good reason: to keep guests focused on achieving true fearlessness so they can become their Maximized Selves. Natalie thinks it’s a bad idea, but Kit has had enough of her sister’s cynicism and voluntarily disappears off the grid.

Six months later Natalie receives a menacing e-mail from a Wisewood account threatening to reveal the secret she’s been keeping from Kit. Panicked, Natalie hurries north to come clean to her sister and bring her home. But she’s about to learn that Wisewood won’t let either of them go without a fight.

I labored over this book for two years (!) and am proud of the end result. I hope you'll consider giving it a read—you can buy the book at any of the links below my signature. And if you see the book in bookshops, libraries or other people's hands, please send me a photo (without aggravating said people... I don't want anyone getting arrested on my behalf).

As always, thank you so very much for your support. Without all of you, these stories would sit in my notebooks, unread. I can't wait to hear what you think of this one.

Happy reading,
