To be honest, life has been a whirlwind lately, and my launch day plan went right out the window. But Sunshine in the Monsoon is officially here, and I couldn't be prouder of this story set in Fontainhasāthe historic, colorful Latin Quarter located in the heart of Goa.šāØ

This is a warm, funny & thoughtful #read. The author does a beautiful job capturing what it feels like to be a kid & trying to keep everything together. The story touches on big topics: mental health, cultural identity & honesty in a way thatās easy to relate to & full of heart.
