Crushing on You

a douchey tech-bro, and both of you helped me clean up my climbing scenes until it actually sounded like I knew what I was talking about (shoutout to lady crusher Leslie here, too).
Jessie Booth and Matt Barackman, for reading it together as a couple and giving me great feedback on readability and flow...and for helping me boost my poor ego!
Rachel David, Lili Ehrlich, and Xin Gao, for lending their perspectives and helping with the realness of several key aspects of the story, and Jean Dahlquist, for taking time away from her own romance writing journey to help with mine. Check out her book when it’s ready!
It’s amazing how much trash gets collected when so many people work together to clean something up, and how much more beautiful it is in the end. This book would not be what it is without you. My deepest, heartfelt thanks.
Last, but not least, my husband, Jia Liu. He’s never read a romance novel in his life (until now), but as a designer (jialiulabs.com), he’s wonderfully intuitive and great at getting into people’s heads. He was my sounding board, my life boat, my cover designer, my final reader, and of course, my muse. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to share with all of you just a fraction of the joy and happiness that I experience with this man every single day. Thanks, bub.

About the Author
Jen has been a prolific author...of physics journal articles. She completed her PhD in Physics, then transitioned into a career in technology, where she’s worked in clean tech and AI. But right before her 30th birthday, she quit her job and went into full third-life crisis mode.
This book was the result.
Jen's favorite activities include climbing, dancing, and laughing maniacally at her own jokes. She hopes you'll do all three after reading this book!
