My cousin Gay and I were born a couple of weeks apart, and we’ve been close ever since. It was soooooo lovely to see her tonight in LA, all the way from NC! Of course we went on a selfie binge.

Today’s bright place: spending time with my cousin Gay, here from NC. I love her! ❤️️ #allthebrightplaces #mybrightplaces #cousins #ilovemyfamily (at Ulysses Voyage)

I’ll tell you of a perfect day

(Which is how the Italian title of All the Bright Places translates.)

In Italy I spent a truly perfect afternoon with a wonderful group of bloggers, and afterward the amazingly lovely Frannie filmed this video about it.

All the Bright Places was larger than life at the Penguin Random House booth and I was giddy! Here I am with my amazing agent, Kerry Sparks, and my best friend, Angelo Surmelis, who flew to Italy to help us celebrate. (*happy tears*)

Minutes after breaking my nose (or at least banging it hard enough for it to swell up and bruise) against a bathroom door (don’t ask!), I filmed this bit of loveliness with the amazing Penguin Platform team. It was a lovely way to take my mind off the pain!

Come to YALLWEST!
