Doesn’t #ADaughtersPlace look gorgeous sitting at the beautiful bar in #LaPlume at #TheWell Last night? This is where #OSLER, the prestigious law firm, held its annual women’s book club meeting, and I will forever be grateful that they picked my novel!!!

¿Dónde está el gerente de este changarro? Quiero poner una queja: nos sirvieron la nieve muy temprano, demasiado pronto y en cantidad extrema. ¡Auxilio! 😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭
