Too Good To Be True is a fictional piece of my heart that's brought a lot of happiness to me. I've always enjoyed the process of storytelling but writing this book has opened a whole new door of possibilities in my mind. It is easily one of the most challenging yet most special pieces of content I have worked on so far. I hope it brings as much joy to you as it did to me. Lots of love to HarperCollins for making this journey even more special. Here's to romance and everything that it brings to us."

We at HarperCollins are thrilled to be partnering with her on her next exciting venture – a funny, heartwarming, sharply observed and incredibly relatable rom-com (that is) Too Good To Be True. As publishers and editors, we're constantly on the lookout for that one fresh and addictive voice that tells a love story we know will touch a million hearts.

It's sure to give readers all the feels and have them smitten, and I can't wait to publish it (and what I hope will be many more to follow)."
