ANNOUNCEMENTS
I can finally tell people what’s next for me in YA! I honestly got tired of seeing the same types of couples on dating shows. So I made my own & turned it into a celebration of QPOC love! šā„ļø You can add it on Goodreads now.
This is why I say I have no hobbies. š Last year, I had a LOVE ISLAND and SINGLEāS INFERNO obsession and it became this project. So if you like either of those shows and similar ones like TERRACE HOUSE, youāll love THE CUFFING GAME!
This book is also a love letter to my years of (suffering) in film school in LA! Iāve always wanted to write a book about the (pains) joys of film-making & the sheer chaos that is reality TV so Iām so excited to share this book with yāall! And PRIDE AND PREJUDICE is one of my favorite books/movies (esp the Keira Knightley version) of all time! But there werenāt nearly enough POC and/or queer people in that book, so!!! This is my first time writing enemies to lovers in a WHILE so this should be interesting, haha. Thank you so much to my agent, Penny Moore, and my editor, Mabel Hsu , without whom this project would not have been possible.
And thank you to all the readers who screamed at me to write more queer YA. This one is for yāall! ššā¤ļø I love Mia and Noah. And the entire cast, honestly! I hope youāll love them too. āØ
Aside from my calendar of virtual events, I also have a few local events planned for the beginning of this year! If you would like to book me for a local and/or virtual event, please feel free to refer to my appearances page for more info.
I’m so happy to announce my next project after the Mindy Kim books, GIGI SHIN IS NOT A NERD, which will come out in Spring 2024! There will still be two more Mindy Kim books out this year and next year, but I’m so excited to dive into books for slightly older readers (ages 8-12) as well~
Looking for the perfect holiday gift for the young reader in your life? The Mindy Kim Food and Fun Collection is now available! This boxed set includes all eight books that are currently out now (see the Mindy Kim page for more info.)
Signed books! If you would like a signed book for yourself or would like to gift one for the holidays, you can get one through these indie bookstores (while supplies last!):
Pantego Books (select Mindy Kim books, Flip the Script, and I’ll Be the One)
Book People (Flip the Script and Mindy Kim only)

All the best,
