SUMMARY:Book Launch Celebration - Allison L. Bitz in conversation with Joan F. Smith and Laura Taylor Namey - Three Things About Emmy Crawford
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening with award-winning author Allison L. Bitz! We will be celebrating Allison’s new book Three Things About Emmy Crawford!  Allison will be in conversation about the book and its themes with guests Joan F. Smith and Laura Taylor Namey. We can’t wait to see you there!\nPre-Order Your Copy HERE!\nAbout the Book:\nIn this coming-of-age novel perfect for fans of Lynn Painter and Rebecca Lynn Solomon\, nothing can derail Emmy Crawford\, the type-A daughter of a senator\, from relentlessly pursuing her dreams—not Crohn’s disease\, the paparazzi\, or even heartbreak.\n\nThere are three things high school senior Emmy Crawford will accomplish\, no matter what:\n1. Taking Nationals in debate this season.\n2. Shielding her sister\, Issy\, from anything that could hurt her\, especially her anxiety.\n3. Representing her family well\, since her mom may be the next president. \nAnd nothing can get in Emmy’s way. Not Crohn’s disease\, even if her gut has been acting up. Not the paparazzi\, who snap any photos they can get of the daughters of a presidential candidate. And definitely not her feelings for Gabe Castillo\, the only debater in DC who stands a chance at beating her—and who she used to be on secret kissing terms with\, before he ghosted her. When Gabe unexpectedly returns to the debate scene and Issy starts crushing on him\, Emmy works harder than ever to keep her eyes on winning and off her aching heart and body\, because the alternative means losing the three things that matter most. \nAbout the Author:\nAllison L. Bitz is the award-winning author of The Unstoppable Bridget Bloom and Three Things About Emmy Crawford. She hails from Lincoln\, Nebraska\, where she lives with her spouse and two kids. Her superpower is empathy\, and she’s been known to have resting tell-me-your-life-story face. Allison holds a PhD in counseling psychology and has worked as a licensed psychologist since 2012. When she’s not working on a novel or counseling\, Allison is more than likely writing a song\, getting riled up about something political\, or trying to track down a pastry to enjoy with her coffee. She has a soft spot for rescue animals\, which are vying for species majority in her home (two perfect dogs\, two ornery cats). You can learn more about Allison at allisonlbitz-author.com or follow her on Twitter\, Instagram\, and TikTok @AllisonLBitz. \nPraise for the book:\nAn honest exploration of trust\, family\, and self-care. A senator’s daughter struggles with perfectionism amid familial\, academic\, and romantic tensions. — Kirkus Reviews \n“THREE THINGS ABOUT EMMY CRAWFORD delivers on everything I look for in a YA novel\, then delivers even more. Bitz effortlessly weaves together the day-to-day realities of chronic illness with a funny and fresh take on academic rivals-to-lovers\, and it Works with a capital W! Emotional\, sweet\, and ridiculously swoony\, this book is a must-read.” — Lynn Painter\, New York Times Bestselling author  \nThe votes are in: Three Things About Emmy Crawford wins for its sharp portrayal of real issues teens care about\, sparkling debate team hijinks\, and thoughtfully drawn relationships. Sisterhood and slow-burn romance meld in this delightful story. You won’t stop at three things to love about Emmy.\n— Laura Taylor Namey\, New York Times bestselling author of A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow \n“Emmy Crawford is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to learn how to live in the body you have when challenges with sisterhood\, romance\, family life in politics\, and a front-running spot on the debate team demands otherwise. This coming-of-age tale will resonate with readers for its sharpness\, wit\, and the intriguing realities of life in the public eye.” — Joan F. Smith\, author of The Other Side of Infinity and The Half-Orphan’s Handbook \n“Told with nuance\, candor\, and understanding\, Bitz’s characters weave through issues of anxiety and chronic illness and a shot at debate team nationals. Readers will cheer for Emmy to be seen for her successes as well as her heart\, bravery\, and ability to let others into a world she’s hidden away.”—Gretchen Schreiber\, author of Ellie Haycock Is Totally Normal — Gretchen Schreiber\, author of Ellie Haycock Is Totally Normal
