Embrace That Girl is an essay collection chronicling my twenties to early thirties and all the things we go through during those self discovery years. Think Eat Pray Loves meets Me Talk Pretty One day.

According to the good folks over at Booklife by Publisher’s Weekly it is:

“a well-crafted post-college memoir that will appeal to young readers and those looking for insightful humor on the journey to self-acceptance”
