I’m so excited to see all my author, reader, blogger, and publishing friends at YALLWest this weekend. In case you’re unfamiliar with the event, it’s the West Coast companion festival to YALLFest, and it’s going to be tons of fun.
In honor of the occasion, I put together an outfit inspired by YALLWest, featuring bookish swag, a nod to “YALL MEANS ALL” – more on that at the festival – and my upcoming novel The Lovely Reckless (which you can start reading here).
If you’re in the Santa Monica, CA area, come join us at YALLWest this weekend. Get all the info on programming, signings, and more (including the infamous YA Smackdown) at yallwest.com. See you there!
