Author’s Notes About the Book

One of my favorite movies when I was younger (and possibly still, though it’s been a long time since I watched it) was You’ve Got Mail. For those who haven’t seen it, the two main characters have somehow found each other online and started exchanging emails. Then they unknowingly meet in real life, and sparks fly. 

This is a little bit of my take on it, but sapphic and Valentine’s Day related. 

Secret Words, Sharp Feelings is about seeing someone else in a new way, a way you haven’t let yourself do before. It is set in Redwood Hollow, has lots of banter, a bit of low-grade angst, and characters finding both themselves and each other.
