About this Event

Join us at Mrs. Dalloway's Bookstore on Wednesday, May 27 when Gwenyth Reitz comes to the store to share her new young adult novel You're Dead To Me, Reed Walker. Gwenyth will be joined in conversation by Eva Des Lauriers and will sign copies of her book after the presentation.

to preorder a copy of You're Dead To Me, Reed Walker.

They'd K*ll each other...if they weren't already dead.

Tessa Sinclair is a winner. Winner of spelling bees, science fairs, and scholarships. So when she finds herself unexpectedly dead after a graduation party in an abandoned mansion, she's none too pleased. What's worse, her Harvard-bound, Mr. Perfect academic rival, Reed Walker, is there too—deceased, smug, and annoying as hell.

Being a ghost is hard enough, but it's a thousand times worse having to haunt the same house as your nemesis. But as Tessa and Reed retreat to RIP in their respective corners of the mansion, a mystery unfurls about the exact cause of their deaths.

Though they'd rather die (again) than work together, they'll need to overcome their differences to hunt down a murderer on the loose. And should they happen to fall for each other along the way...Who ever said you can't find love after death?

was born in Sri Lanka, and has lived and worked in California, Washington, Alaska, Montana, Japan, and Mongolia. When not intrepidly exploring, she writes genre-blending young adult stories with swoony romance, mystery, humor, and heart. Gwenyth now lives with her husband and two kids in New York City, where she can often be found scribbling late into the night on her rooftop like the caffeine-obsessed night owl she is. You're Dead to Me, Reed Walker is her debut novel.

is a California girl who became a diehard romantic when she married her best friend, the boy she sat next to in eleventh grade calculus. She now holds both an MSW and BA in Psychology. As a clinical social worker, she had the privilege of working with the vibrant and complicated teens for whom she now writes. When she isn’t writing, you can find her wandering through the redwoods, staring at the sea, or pretending she’s in a music video. She lives in Northern California with her husband, their two children, and her collection of kissing books. She is also the author of I Wish You Would and the forthcoming I'm Gonna Get You Back.
