Beta Readers Needed

Beta readers… I need you 🥺 My second novel is DONE and I'm looking for readers who aren't afraid of the heavy stuff. "All the Ways I Found You" is a story about surviving, starting over, and learning that healing doesn't happen in a straight line.

If you love books that make you FEEL everything—the kind with content warnings you actually need to read, characters who are messy and real, and endings that give you hope after dragging you through the darkness—this is for you.

Brynn's escaping California, starting fresh in Florida, and trying to outrun a past that won't let go. Think: atmospheric, emotional, trauma recovery done right, and a playlist that'll wreck you in the best way.

Apply to beta read (link in bio)! Early access + you get to help shape the final story

... Read moreReading "All the Ways I Found You" reminds me how powerful storytelling can be in portraying trauma and healing. Brynn's journey of escaping an abusive marriage and starting over in Florida highlights how trauma recovery is complex and nonlinear—a truth often overlooked in fiction. Beta readers often encounter characters who feel distant or idealized, but this story’s emotional depth and realistic portrayal of PTSD and trauma responses make the characters resonate on a personal level. The slow burn romance between Brynn and Luca adds a layer of hope and complexity, showing that healing often happens not just through solitude but through meaningful connections. As someone who’s participated in beta reading groups before, I appreciate when authors include detailed content warnings—they prepare readers emotionally and foster a safer reading space. This book includes topics like domestic violence, PTSD, and suicidal ideation, handled with the care and respect these subjects deserve. What stood out to me was the author’s invitation for honest feedback on pacing, character development, and emotional impact. It’s rare to see such openness, and it makes the beta reading process feel like a true collaboration. Plus, the offer of an advanced reader copy and acknowledgment highlights respect and appreciation for dedicated readers. If you’re drawn to stories that evoke real feelings and aren’t afraid of heavy themes, this is a compelling project to support and experience early.
