lol the sonic whiplash

survivor is such an integral part of evie & theo's relationship in FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS (my upcoming romance novel) that the logo made it on an internal mood board put together by my marketing team . . . & that was the moment i knew that not only did they get this book, they got ME 🥹🥲

if it is true that chad and james aren't going to be in the OTH reboot because they simply were not asked to be that is W I L D to me. (yes, i know the history / lore. STILL.)

happy WICKED day to all, but mostly to 13yo marisa who loved it so much she called her first novel DANCING THROUGH LIFE & made this work of art cover in idk what app circa 2009!! 💚🩷

how it started vs. how it's going, crafty edition

asked myself what is the best way to introduce myself / my books & really is it not just to repurpose these slides from my teen writer workshop presentation?

how are y'all coping with *gestures vaguely at everything* bc it's hyperfixating on wicked like i'm the 13yo in this picture again for me!!!

hello hello! i'm marisa and i'm a romance author, casual crocheter, and reality tv enthusiast. i have three YA romcoms under my belt & my debut adult romance, FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS, comes out May 6, 2025 ✨️
