Welp, we shipped off stacks of preorders to readers and boxes upon boxes of books to our stockists across Canada and the US and tomorrow is the big official release day. Starting to feel sad, already, that the fun part is over! But can't wait to see it in the hands of our community (that's you!) Thank you so much for your support, the response to our SHARE THIS BOOK promo was so wonderful and we really, really love you. 💕
