Happy birthday Allison! I just left you 5 stars on Amazon (their rating system could use some creativity, I wanted to give it 7/5 Over-thinkers). I just want to say that from my perspective you’re killing it. My boyfriend knows exactly who “Allison” is because I can’t stop sharing things I learn from your Instagram/book/JBU podcast/ESL pod episodes. Even if your reach isn’t quite as long as it was in the past, you should know that you’re making a huge impact for those of us that consume your work.

I hope 33 brings you success and new projects, but most of all happiness! 💜

Having a book come out can feel so anticlimactic, I went through the same feelings, was devastated the NYT didn’t review it, but then I just focused on continuing to try to find ways to market, to come up with new events, even if it’s small. Just as you say, remember a book has a long life ahead of it, and everything can’t happen in one day! Don’t give up :)

Overthinking about you is such an amazing book and you definitely shouldn’t give up on it! You’re such a talented writer and I can’t wait to read more of your books when they come out.
