I'm thrilled that you enjoyed DUMB. Thanks for reading it. Hope you like the other books as much. (Sadly, there's no plan for a DUMB sequel, though - sorry about that.)
I'll let my publisher know you're interested in an ARC. Fingers crossed!
Thanks, Book Whales. I can't wait either! Hope you like it.
We can't wait for this book to come out!!:D
