Hey everyone!
I debated playing an April Fool’s prank, but…the truth is so much more exciting! I just received the Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs) of AWKWARDLY EVER AFTER!
Okay, I admit it. I probably reacted more like this…
It just looks so beautiful! The wonderful people at KTeen really knocked it out of the park with the cover and…why don’t I just show you what I mean?
*FLAILS ARMS* *HAPPY DANCES* *BLASTS CONFETTI*
I love it so much I’m actually tearing up right now. I think it just hit me that this is goodbye to all my Smith High School friends. I feel so blessed that KTeen gave me the opportunity to say goodbye to my faithful companions. I’m going to miss each and every one of them.
I’m never going to let you go. Never. NEVER!!!!!
This book is a love letter. Not just for my characters, but for all my fans. Thank you!
Thank you for reading my books. Thank you for handing them to your friends. Thank you for geeking out with me. Thank you for your letters/emails/tweets of encouragement. Thank you for believing in me.
I am so ridiculously lucky to have your support. It’s not something I will ever take for granted.
Let me put it this way…
Also…
And…
AWKWARDLY EVER AFTER will be released on June 24th! You can preorder it here or you can try to win an Advanced Reader Copy in one of the giveaways that I’ll soon be running. OR you could do both!
Either way…
Awkwardly yours,
Marni
P.S. I will be sharing more photos and fun times on my Facebook author page! You should totally check it out!

Aww Marni, we love you too! I can’t wait to read Awkwardly Ever After. I’m just as sad to know this is their last book, but who knows, you may be able to revisit them sometime in the future. 🙂
Besides I’m sure there are other great books in your head trying to get out! 🙂
I am so excited to read this book!!! I need more Smith High 🙂
Hi Colette!
Wow, thank you so much! I can’t wait to hear what you think of it! 🙂
Go Marni! I love the way you use images in your posts. How long does it take you to find/make the animated gifs?
