THE BOOK OF ESSIE is an IndieNext pick for the month of June. Liv Stratman, of Books Are Magic, said of the novel, “I couldn’t stop turning the pages to see what would happen to Essie and Roarke, the boy Essie’s mother has decided she will marry in a primetime, live-televised wedding. Weir proves herself to be a brilliant new talent with a sensitive but unflinching take on child exploitation and life in the public eye. A must-read!” Knopf will publish the book June 12, 2018.
