6/23/2019: I’m so thrilled to announce my debut’s new title, KEEP MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO!
I don’t think I can adequately express how excited (and terrified?!) I am to share this book with the world! First, this book was mine—a messy-quirky story that helped me during a dark time. Then, this book belonged to my agent, who found the perfect editor for KMHISF. An editor who understood the heart of this ...more

A unique, retro contemporary YA romance that revolves around bowling! These flawed, layered characters are written with so much depth and empathy. I'm a huge fan of setting as character, and this book truly captures the heartbeat of San Fransisco. Perfect for fans of Jenn Bennett.
I had the fortune of reading this book before there was a publishing contract and I knew it would sell! A YA bowling alley story set in San Francisco? Yes, please! The main characters, Chuck and Beckett, are former BFFs on the outs, but they work together in an attempt to save her father’s bowling alley. The vibe is a little bit retro, a little bit quirky and a lotta bit fun. I enjoyed it as an adult and will definitely be buying it for my daughter!
Funny, delightful, charming, and perfect for fans of Jenn Bennett.
I was privileged to read this book before it sold and it’s so charming and cute!! The setting, suspense, love story all work like magic together.

ARC received in exchange for an honest review - thank you!
Well, I really wanted to like this book. It sounded like a cute rom-com with sparks flying between ex-best friends (aka one of my favourite relationship dynamics). But, despite good discussions of mental health, it had a tepid storyline featuring flat and somewhat incredibly stupid characters.

I was lucky enough to read an early version of this book and loved every part of it! So cute and charming with just the right twist of thrills. Plus, a girl who invades the world of underground bowling and hustles them all? You need to read the second it hits shelves.
I was lucky enough to read an early version of this book, and I can’t wait to have a copy on my shelf!
Chuck is an interesting, snarky, and RELATABLE main character, and her story is a wild ride!

Amazing book! Loved every page!
Fun, absorbing and completely delightful. You'll find yourself deeply rooting for Chuck and also wishing that you could find your very own underground action bowling league. Made me miss a San Francisco that I never even really knew. Awesome debut, can't wait to read what's next.
This book is EVERYTHING!!! With romance and kisses that will leave you with feels for days, bowling hustling (YES, bowling AND hustling), and layered characters dealing with issues, real and familiar issues, fear and shame, who remind you that you’re not alone and there is hope.
Full of relatable shout outs sprinkled throughout — fabulous vintage fashion, nacho cheese (need I say more?!), Dolores Park, smells of fresh rain on concrete and tin roofs and thick fog, dope music (yes, even Roy ...more
