I’ve been meaning to tell you

book (2)

book (1)

book (4)

book (11)

book (10)

Every story

every secret

everything I’ve never told you

whispered within this book.

My heart.

My history.

whole and jagged and frayed

and just as it’s meant to be.

Chocolate smudges and salted tears.

Promise you’ll come with me.

    How exciting!! I hope the experience of writing the book will be as good and therapeutic for you as it will be for us readers! You have such a unique way of writing and your story is so worth telling, I can wait, but only because I have to. :)

    OMG!!!!! This is what we’ve all been telling you all along! I am beyond excited at this news. I am not only going to buy myself a copy, but a copy for all the people in my life who I know could benefit from your words and experience the way that I have.

    For example, today I’ve turned my healthy, yet very ordinary, lean turkey on whole wheat sandwich into something more extraordinary and delicious with the addition of a few slices of lime-spritzed avacado–all because your blog has given me a new inspiration on food and my weight loss. Thanks, Andie!

    I’m very excited for you!

    Oh my goodness, are you serious? I’ve seriously been dreaming of this! You are such a brilliant writer. I live in Sweden, so I rarely order books from outside my country because the shipping costs are crazy, but I will spare no expense when it comes to your book! You are a huge inspiration to me – can’t wait to read!

    I absolutely love that all of my favorite bloggers are getting book deals!!! Finally people who deserve them–unlike all those celebrity novelists like Hilary Duff and Lauren Conrad. I still cringe everytime I pass their books in Borders. Anyhoo, congratulations!!! This may be totally jumping the gun, but any idea when it will be coming out?

    Whoa! I’m so behind in my blog reading. I hate I “missed” this announcement but I’m so glad I know now. Can I pre-order it because I definitely will be reading your book cover to cover?

    Congratulations girl! You’re so deserving of this!
