MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

so much has happened in the last week and we NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT

Angels! Crushes! Besties! Exes!

I hate leaving you in the dark, so thought I’d give you a lil update on the newsy for the next few weeks, because I’m sure you’re sitting there like… Luce… where are you?

I am here! I am running around like a headless chook with Bel (who landed in NZ and has made my life complete again) as we are launching our book into the world!

It’s been the most HECTIC and BEST week of my life, but due to me being on only one small person, I have not had the time or energy to write the newsy. I’m sorry!

I need to say an enormous thank you (tbh no words will ever be enough) for all the love you’ve given this book - it’s been sold out in my hometown since launch day, it’s gone number one at two independents (we love supporting indies) and you’ve all been sending us the sweetest fucking messages imaginable about it. Ugh. I am genuinely blown away and obsessed with you, and your endless kindness.

In lieu of the newsy for the next week, here are some updates for you:
