Thank you!

Something I’ve learned on my author journey: It’s just as nerve-wracking publishing your 10th novel as it is your first.

Or in this case, your 13th :D.

BOOKWORM came out a little over a month ago. I was so very nervous. That hasn’t exactly worn off (I still check to make sure the book’s doing okay lol!). But thankfully, it’s doing well!

People are reading Charlotte & Bo’s story, and several of them have left such wonderful reviews! <3

Here are some of the things awesome reviewers are saying:

“This might be O’Gorman’s best young adult book so far. At least it’s my favorite! I loved everything about it.” –T.H. Hernandez, Author of The Union Series

“Bookworm was an adorable, feel good romance that will keep you smiling from that first page to the last! With grumpy sunshine mixed with fake dating, it was impossible not to fall in love with this story…. It’s happiness in a book! And you definitely need this happiness in your life!“ – Jen, Star Crossed Book Blog

“I absolutely adored Lottie and Bo. Read in a day and loved every minute.”– Natasha, Goodreads Review

“Not only is ʙᴏᴏᴋᴡᴏʀᴍ the cutest grumpy x sunshine rep I’ve read in a long time; but Lottie & Bo’s fake relationship is *chef’s kiss*.—KristaReadsRomance, Goodreads Review

“I have never felt more seen than I do when reading her books. In this story specifically, Cookie touched every part of my bookworm soul.”– Alani, Goodreads Review

“I loved Bookworm! It had me hooked the whole time.”—Christy, Goodreads Review

“bless my poor melted heart because this book is all cuteness and sweetness and oh my god, i can’t stop blushingggg

• YA romance • Fake dating • Grumpy × Sunshine • Popular Jock × Bookworm • Highschool setting • Library kisses🤭 • Clean romance”– Navss, Goodreads Review

“I loved Lottie, her shining optimism and her determination to always choose happiness despite the circumstances.”– Ryelle, Goodreads Review

“Cookie writes the best book boyfriends! I instantly fell in love with Bo. The quiet, brooding type never ceases to win my heart.”- Lauren, SERIESous Book Reviews

“This book is perfect for any opposites attract, fake relationship, grumpy sunshine lover.”– Lindsey, Goodreads Review

“Cookie has done it again, and I 10/10 would read again!”—Marla, Amazon Review

“If you like boy next door, fake relationships, soccer, bookworms, happy girls and stoic boys, this one is absolutely for you.”– Meredith, A Book and A Cup of Cocoa

“I loved this book!!! I read it in one night!!! I absolutely loved Bo and Charlotte!“– Stacie, Goodreads Review

Ahhh, I am so thankful! I can’t express what it feels like to have people say such wonderful things about a story and characters that I love so much. It’s humbling and heart-lifting and just all the good things. <3

Also, I love numbers. I think I’ve said that before, but I really do lol. And the stats for BOOKWORM have been pretty awesome!

It reached 100 ratings on Amazon and Goodreads within the first seven to 10 days (which is amazing–for one of my books anyway!).

As of now, BOOKWORM has also been a #1 Best Seller in two of its categories as well as a #1 Hot New Release in four countries (including the U.S., Brazil, France, and Australia).

928 people have added the book on Goodreads.

Over 870,000 pages have been read on KU.

Again, to me, that means people are reading! My #1 goal when publishing was to put my books out there, to hopefully find readers.

And I am so grateful readers are finding Charlotte & Bo’s story!

Thank you so much to anyone who is reading! Thank you so much if you leave a review! I hope BOOKWORM (and all my books) bring some joy, relief, happiness, laughter, and love to your life <3.

Happy reading,

Cookie O’Gorman

P.S. And bc I still can’t believe it, here’s a pic I snapped on Saturday. Thank you so much to everyone who made this happen! You’re wonderful! Thank you for showing BOOKWORM so much love in its first month out! <3
