I am very, very excited to share the cover of my next novel, Fun for the Whole Family!

I know you haven’t read the book yet, so you’ll have to trust me when I tell you it’s perfect! And once you meet these characters—Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude—I have a feeling you’ll agree. This novel—like The Unsinkable Greta James—is geared toward adults, and perfect for book clubs. It’s about four estranged siblings who reunite to spend a weekend wrestling with their shared past, their uncertain futures, and the three secrets that could change everything. And if you’re curious to know more, you can read about it here.

The book will be out April 15, 2025, which I realize feels like a long way off—but the good news is that you can preorder your copy now.

Fun for the Whole Family will be my 13th published book, and I feel very, very lucky indeed. I hope so much that you all love it, and am very grateful for all your support of my work, and for being here. Much more to come!

I’m so excited to share with you all the trailer and poster for Love at First Sight, which is based on my novel, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, and will be out September 15th on Netflix. I know readers have waited a very long time for this, and I can’t wait for you all to see it. I hope you love it as much as I do!

The paperback for The Unsinkable Greta James will be out on May 9th! I continue to be incredibly grateful for all the love this book has received, and I can’t wait for this edition to be out soon too!

In anticipation of the Love at First Sight movie, I’m excited to share a brand new cover for the book — the first since it came out over a decade ago! It’s available now, so there’s plenty of time to read it again — or for the first time — before the film comes out on Netflix in September.

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for a release date for the Statistical Probability movie, so I’m very happy to report it will be out on Netflix in September! As you can see, they’ve shortened the title, but it’s still the same story you’ve loved all these years, and I hope you’ll love the film version just as much.

This is something you definitely don’t expect when you make up stories for a living! Thank you so much to @amazonbooks for choosing The Unsinkable Greta James for their Editor’s Spotlight and putting it up on a giant billboard in New York City. This is completely surreal (if you can’t tell by my face!) and truly a career highlight. I’m very, very grateful!!
