Hi, if you're new here, I'm Margot! I am a #1 New York Times Bestselling-wannabe author of Fresh, a funny YA novel that no one called a "tour-de-force" but everyone called "chaotic" (in a good way). The book releases in a new flaccid format May 16 in bookstores everywhere!

Pro tip: if you pre-order a book months in advance you will forget about it and when the book shows up on your doorstep you'll be LIKE OMG WHO SENT ME THIS?!?! and then you'll realize it was a surprise gift from your past self and you'll get all these warm happy self-love feels

The Jennette McCurdy book being sold out everywhere is a really good example of why you should always pre-order the books you are interested in. It helps the publishers know how many books to print! (Among many other helpful things.)
