It's here!! Until now, this book has been something I've been working on quietly behind the scenes. Today, I'm so excited that I finally get to introduce you to Marshmallows Are Their Favorite: Undercover at a Primate Lab!

Huge thank you to the amazing and incredibly talented Kay Lapper, who designed the cover and the entire layout, which is a massive undertaking. Thank you, Kay, for capturing the heart of this story so beautifully. I’m very grateful for all of the time and care you put into bringing this to life in a way I never could have. 🥹

And now for the other big news: Pre-orders are officially LIVE! Which means you can order the book today(!) before it releases on October 6th.

Pre-orders matter a ton. It's one of the most helpful things you can do to support the book before it comes out and to help these stories reach more people. You can also read more about the book at lindsayoliver.com

I've been working on this book for far too many years now, so even though it's scary to share, I'm glad their stories are finally being told.

While I know this is a heavy topic, I intentionally wrote it so that it doesn't feel like you're just reading sad stories of monkeys in cages. From the beginning, I never wanted it to be that type of book.

I weave in what it was like to work undercover (messy hidden cameras and all), how I—as someone who gets grossed out by hotel comforters—managed to work in an environment like that, and the surprising relationships I built with the monkeys but also the humans. It definitely has my weird personality in it as well, sorry haha.

Thanks so much to all of you who have supported me along this very long journey.

I can only hope I've done these stories justice and that they find their way to as many people as possible because they deserve to be heard. Not for me. For them.

And maybe one day, even in some small way, this helps change the future for animals in labs. 🐒 🩷
