two years. thousands of pages. over a dozen drafts. that was the process of writing Half His Age.
i'm so proud of this book and grateful for the way it has connected with all of you (YOU have made it a #1 international bestseller and #2 NYT bestseller - thank you.) i've gotten to travel the world on tour for this novel - belgium, london, paris, amsterdam - and seeing the kind of reader who resonates with it has been the best gift.
you are MY PEOPLE. you are complex and smart and crave nuance and complicated characters.
i've never really connected with people who want to escape in the things they consume. i've always connected with people who want to be moved by the things they consume. and that is all of you.
i'm grateful to have brilliant readers who engage with material in such a deep and thoughtful way. I LOVE YOU.
i was scared for a moment there.. (TEY comes out dec 8. you can pre-order now at the link in my bio)
i swear, having an @Anthropologie mug makes me more productive.
today is im glad my mom died's fourth birthday. this book started my journey as an author, and i'm so grateful for the other books it’s led to (half his age ! the examined year !) i couldn't be more proud of my ever-growing collection of paper children lol
i'm so excited to announce that my third book, the examined year, will be out december 8th !!
to anyone who's ever picked up one of my books, come to one of my tour dates, supported my writing in big and small ways - you've helped give me the life i always dreamed of living. and now i want you to have yours.
the examined year is a guided journal i created to help you identify your core values, build goals that honor those values, and take honest stock of your life month by month and season by season, pivoting accordingly as you gain insight and learn more about yourself.
i've designed every piece of this journal with you in mind. literally every piece, inside and out. i went through countless drafts, pressure-testing every prompt and passage.
i went through dozens of vegan leather samples, paper options, fonts, and layouts to make sure each aesthetic detail was of the utmost quality.
ultimately, i wanted every piece of this book to be substantive, beautiful, calming, and helpful to your self-discovery.
we're going to reflect. we're going to learn about ourselves. and we're all going to write this one together. 💙
the examined year - out december 8th
