Author

Don't Ask If I'm Okay is a tender, funny book, beautifully written, that explores grief, first love, hope, and forgiveness, through the eyes of a young man you'll be glad you met. It will also make you want to grill a cheese sandwich and eat it in a blanket fort, and what could be wrong with that? Take this book with you. Though labeled YA, it's a great book for not-so-young adults, too!
