I wrote a novel called FAN FAVORITE because I wanted to see what would happen if a regular gal who eats carbs and wears Birkenstocks went on a reality TV dating show and had to sit in a hot tub with a bunch of Instagram models (preorder now, in stores 6/24/25). Now I’m writing a romcom about a washed up pop star who goes on a Y2K reunion tour to win the heart of the boy bander of her dreams (Summer 2026). I write about pop culture on my Substack WHERE THE F*CK’S MY HAPPY ENDING?! and complain about how pop culture ruined my life on my podcast DON’T RUIN THIS FOR ME. On Wednesdays I watch Survivor. I believe RHOSLC is the best Housewives franchise. I’m obsessed with oil cleanser, Ve
