A starred review for Holding Up the Universe!

It’s that nail-biting, nerve-rattling time in a writer’s life when early reviews are starting to arrive for a book that isn’t even out yet. I’ve been writing professionally for 18 years now, and I will never get used to it!
But this just in… Publisher’s Weekly gives HOLDING UP THE UNIVERSE a starred review! They say I create “two indelible characters and a heart-stopping romance.” Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
