The Good Girl's Guide to Fantasy and Adventure // Coming January 25, 2021
Ever since Meg Connolly’s fiancé left her for Helen Vencor, a fantasy novelist with a cult-like following, Meg has despised all things wizard-adjacent. She’s doubled down on the real world, making her father proud by working overtime as a corporate lawyer at the family firm. So it’s a truly terrible night when a blind date dumps Meg into the heart of Helen’s nerd empire.
Duty and common sense tell her to run from the mesmerized fans, but an undeniable chemistry with Helen’s ex-husband casts a spell over her, and Meg decides one evening in the land of fandom won’t lead her astray from reality. But Nicholas seems as genuine as he is handsome, and Helen’s latest book hooks Meg on the first page. The wizard protagonist bears a striking resemblance to her, and the character’s quest to regain her confidence and defy convention inspires Meg to look at her own life and do the same.
Except standing up to the powers-that-be means challenging the father she’s spent her life trying to please, a man who’s also the most feared lawyer in the city. Meg must decide if answering the call to adventure is worth the risk of never going home again.
Praise for Good Girl's Guide:
""Hilarious, Poignant, and Gutsy! My heart feels so HAPPY having read this book—and I don’t even get LARP and Fantasy or anything like that.
The dynamic and intricate humanity of every single one of the characters crackles off the page. It’s like I’m in the book with them. So, uncork the wine and prepare to spend the night with a hilarious heroine on a fearless quest to pave her own path."

"This book is what I call a hugger, because I stopped every so often to hug my phone after some awesome, amazing part.
[Evi's] voice is so fun and relatable. Meg is awesome. Helen’s a hot mess and I adored her. Nicholas is (hold on while I swoon for a second...) I want several more books revolving around these people and their lives together, because I did not want to leave their orbit."
