The novel features LGBTQ+ themes and follows protagonists Avery and Taylor through a journey of self-discovery and romance. Guillory highlights the importance of reader interactions and personal connections during her book launch events.
"Writing out my drafts by hand initially allowed me to explore themes and fix mistakes organically. Itâs a painful but beneficial process for me."
"While my handwriting might be terrible, it forces me to figure out what I meant when I type it up. Itâs a challenge, but it enhances my writing journey."
