the brittanys are here! - by Brittany Ackerman
“sometimes it feels like no one is watching us, the way we find ourselves in spots to make our own decisions. but it also feels like we’re too young to do so, even though it’s all we want, to be able to cut our own bangs, kiss boys in public, pierce our own ears…”
The Brittanys is officially here!
Today has been a day full of love and support. I’m so thrilled that the novel is finally arriving at everyone’s front door today and being placed on the shelves of bookstores. I’ll be doing 3 virtual readings this month, all linked below, and I’m also attaching some literary essays and lists I’ve had the pleasure of writing in preparation for the book launch. I am so thankful for The Brittanys and for the opportunity to share this story with the world!
Please leave an Amazon comment or a Goodreads review if you have accounts on either platform—it helps! And feel free to tag me in anything you post about the book—I love to see it!
