Selected as one of the best books of 2024!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that Kirkus Reviews selected SKY'S END as one of their best books of 2024!

This never would've been possible without my team including my family, my agent, and the amazing people at Peachtree Teen.

It's surreal thinking there was a time I feared SKY'S END wouldn't land me an agent. Now, look at it fly!

Thank you, Kirkus Reviews, for this incredible honor, and for including SKY'S END among so many deserving books. Today, I am happy.
