A3: For the dual pov MCs of THIS RAGING SEA...

Briar would go for something with caramel + chocolate but then want to trade halfway through with Finn, who would've ordered her second favorite flavor (strawberry) for himself, because he knew she was going to do this! 🥲 #QATalk

Q3: It's getting warmer out! What would be your MC's go-to ice cream flavor and why? #QATalk

A2: In a shocking turn of events, THIS RAGING SEA is....water! 😂

Naturally I do have an aesthetic. #QATalk

Not me, you can't get me to shut up about it, 😂watch: THIS RAGING SEA features not one but two bisexual main characters who have a bi4bi romance, say bisexual on the page, and live as their authentic and chaotic selves. 💖💜💙

How about two pics + two writers 🥺🌈✈️

To say that Kade is a brilliant, magical, and the most thoughtful editor would be the biggest understatement—working on my book together has literally rewired my brain. This is so well deserved!!! 🫶🥳
