Welcome back to another #FriendlyFriday, where I tell you all about my fabulous friends and what brilliant things that they are up to!
Now you may recognize the first name on today's #FriendlyFriday, as Pintip Dunn has been here before (refresh your memory here and here!), but today you'll see a new name, Love Dunn! I've known Love since she was a wee one, even getting to be a princess at her sixth birthday party! This mother-daughter duo are some of my favorite people and are absolutely like family to me, but also, it's Love's DEBUT NOVEL!!! so it's no surprise that they're today's post.
Want to get to know Love better? Love Dunn is a high school junior. She has a deep passion for storytelling and has written fourteen manuscripts to date. Her other interests include dance, volleyball, piano, violin, and public speaking. Her favorite activity, however, is cuddling her dog, Strawberry. She frequently engages in writing sprints with her mom — and easily beats Pintip’s word count every time.
Still want more about this mother-daughter team? Click here to read their interview with The Nerd Daily! (Where I am HONORED that Love named AlphaOops as her first book she remembered reading!!)
So, are you ready to hear more about the book?
No escape. Follow the rules. And don’t count on reality―in this uniquely vibrant romantasy from NYT bestselling author Pintip Dunn and daughter Love Dunn… It looks like paradise…only it’s not. This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime family trip to Thailand. One last wish for my dying mama. Instead, we’re stranded on a lush, stunning island with ten strangers―held captive as Thai mythology unfolds around us…and within us. Now we’re being tested. We’re expected to face our greatest fears―and possible deaths―in hopes of awakening some kind of dormant gift…or curse. One by one, we’re transforming, echoing the strange and sometimes wondrous abilities found in Thai folktales. But my mama has only days to live, my papa is missing, and I’m forced to trust a group of strangers…including our evasive, dark-eyed tour guide, who resembles a minor god. Toss me in the ocean and feed me to the naga now. Only I’m no hero. My days are managed by numbers and the compulsions that used to keep me safe. I have to prove how far I can go. To survive. To protect my family. And to find a way off this perilous island where everything is a lie…including reality.
Doesn't this sound AMAZEBALLS?! You know I've already gotten my copy, and you can get yours HERE! And of course, head over to Pintip's website to check out her other literary offerings, and definitely follow Love on IG so you don't miss what this WonderKid does next!
