memories of crying over books, most recently Know My Name by Chanel Miller
Author: Courtney
Courtney was an English major at UC Berkeley (Class of 2016) who enjoys perusing food blogs between reading assignments, eating cake for second breakfasts and midnight snacks, and dabbling in amateur photography. When she's not busy writing, she can typically be found in the kitchen stress-baking and stress-cleaning. Though an avid devourer of both words and carbs, Courtney hopes to curb the latter and become a more fitness and health-oriented foodie.
