I’m thrilled to share the cover for my sophomore novel, CITY PEOPLE, which will be yours on April 6th, 2027!
This book is my love letter to homebodies, to the girls who feel like they wouldn’t be themselves if they were loved, and to the overly sentimental, nostalgic, and stubborn. It holds a very special place in my heart, and I hope it can make its way into yours as well.
💖💖💖
Teddi Cooper will do anything to get her Grandmother to stay in NYC—even guilt her into performing in a reunion staging of the Broadway musical that made her infamous when she left the spotlight without a trace sixty years ago. But if Reid Fletcher, the manager of Gram’s much more famous costar, Hal Harrison, has any say in the matter, the show will not go on—and he has his own mysterious reasons to stay away. As Teddi and Reid butt heads, she realizes that he may be the only person in the entire world who really sees her, and he’s not afraid to call her on her bullshit.
In CITY PEOPLE you’ll find:
🎟️Bickering enthusiasts
🎟️Two idiots who can never be wrong
🎟️Cooking together
🎟️Fuck it
🎟️A man who loves Shakespeare
🎟️The only New Yorker in the world who supposedly doesn’t jay-walk
🎟️A bodega cat named Dawn
🎟️A Fabulous grandmother
🎟️And her long lost silver fox co-star
