the holding cover...................................................y..es

That holding cover. I am dead. This is my funeral. Thanks for coming.

Happy Birthday Lex. I believe that everyone should have the best birthday that they can in this new year in a safe way and that includes you. So have an amazing birthday today.

I'm so excited for this Lex! I run the blog for the Jane Austen Centre and am looking forward to preordering this so I can get a review up!

I hope it can be available in the US! At least as an ebook

Genuinely laughed out loud at the holding cover, wasn't expecting that but I absolutely love it! I have no attention span anymore so I can barely read but I'm very excited for your book, congrats!!

Lex, that holding cover 😂

You are described in my english textbook lol

That holding cover is NOT what I was expecting Hahaha!! This sounds great, I can't wait!

I remember seeing you writing this on Instagram like a year ago and hoping someone published it so much! So happy for you and also for me since I get to read it!

Congratulations, Lex! I was taken on by an agent at Madeleine Milburn earlier this summer and I’m still slogging through the redrafting process - it’s a long ride! Massive congrats on what sounds like a brilliant novel. I’ll look out for you on MM’s website!

omg the holding cover hhahahaaa

OMG the holding cover 😂😂 Missed you Lex!! 💗 So excited for your novel and can’t wait to preorder!

Truly an amazing cover lol don’t change a thing

Thanks for being so down to earth and actually explaining the process! And well done, so pleased for you

Ah, Lex, I am so refreshed by seeing your face and hearing your humor again. 😌 I am excited for your book!! I feel like more KZfaqrs I follow are releasing fiction novels, and it's very exciting. Your pitch sounds enticing. 😊

Congrats on the novel, big achievement! Also equal congrats on the impressive cat tree.

So lovely to see you again Lex. A big giant congratulations on this book. I cannot wait to read it!

Congratulations Lex! I'm beyond thrilled for you. Love your fanfic and book recommendations and this premise sounds amazing, so I already know this is going to be right up my alley and I can't wait to preorder.

I'm reading this book right now and absolutely love it! Thank youuu

Ahhhh. I am lowkey excited. Very much will put on my tbr.

CONGRATULATIONS, LEX!!!!! This is so fabulous!!!!

We love you Lex. Can't wait to read the book. Congrats on being a bicon 💖💜💙

I'm so effing excited for this, congratulations!!

I hope that Bridgerton hype will make for a lot of book sales!

As someone who is terrible at coming up with titles, I kind of love the idea that if I ever wrote a book someone else would come up with the title for me also, the first thought I had after the announcement was "BIIIIG REPUTATION AAAAAAA" so I'm glad that was the correct response

YES I am so excited for this, this is the exact intersection of my interests

This is awesome, I'm glad you got to achieve your dream :) as someone who read You're Crushing It, I'm excited to see what your fiction writing will be like!

I would love to see more about your video production job, that sounds interesting!

the moment you described (somewhere else, idk where) that you were writing something that's "pride and prejudice meets gossip girl", I instantly knew this was something I wanted to read. So happy for your success Lex, and cannot wait to get my hands on your book!

Congratulations Lex!! 🥳

The term "whirlwind friendship" came into my room in the dark and beat me up with a length of 3/4" rebar.

Congrats!! That's so exciting!!!

I loved the book so much! Would absolutely love a sequel!

Lex, I’m so excited! I really hope I’ll be able to get the book here in Egypt when it’s published 💕 I cannot wait

Also you look just beautiful!! I love this look!!

i will be singing "biiiig reputation big reputation ooh" each time you mention this book. And I'm good with that.

so proud of you xxxxxx

sometimes a video pops up and I remember why i love youtube. nice to see you again!

I am SO excited for this. Even though I don't even know if I can order it to Canada yet. I will do anything to get my hands on it!

That holding cover gave me a right chuckle 😂

omg i was NOT READY for the holding cover. deceased.

Lex, I have been watching your video's for a long time and never commented. But OMG this is amazing! Congratulations!

Congratulations Lex!

Congrats on time well spent.

the holding cover im DYING

Gratz on everything.

Congrats on the book that's such an achievement ✨♥️

I cannot wait!! As soon as you announced it on Instagram, I told my friend about it who owns an indie bookstore. I'm going to make him order so many copies.

Congrats Lex i am so excited!!!! preordered already :)

congrats! can't wait to read it! 💙💜💖

Ahhh I just saw this, I love you Lex and I can't wait to read your book. And as a swiftie, I'm totally digging the title 😂❣

I literally just bought it and i cant wait to read it!

Oh god, who else lost it when they saw the holding cover? 😂😂

this is really cool, well done and looking forward to it

I'm so incredibly excited for you!

Congrats gal!! Ya killin it

Congrats!

Congrats Lex, that holding cover though 🤣

Just finished this book (literally 30 minutes ago) and cannot believe I didn't realise who it was written by! I love birthday presents that make me cry into my pillow on Saturday lockdown nights

I saw the Twitter thing and got excited and now I'm twelve times for excited and I haven't even watched the video yet. CONGRATS!!

I want to read this. Congrats!

truly so fucking excited for this

honestly so excited for this! this might actually become the second thing i have ever preordered after the fault in our stars back in 2011/2012! also the fact that authors don't choose their own titles completely blew my mind, it's also my "dream" to write a book but was worried i'd never be able to think of a good title, even if i somehow managed to actually write a book, let alone find a publisher... ps holding cover literally made me laugh my head off

Congratulations! I'll preorder it as soon as it's available on not amazon :)

can only preorder the kindle version from mainland EU but i am SO EXCITED!!!

I will pre-order this book from Sevenoaks Bookshop in due course.

Love the cover art! You should keep it; almost 😂

Good to see you, and well done for writing a book - it's a lot harder than most people think it is, because while technically anyone could write a book, most of us don't have the determination and dedication to actually sit down and write. Personally I love having written, but not writing itself, which is why I think I'm better suited as an editor (freelancing dreams), but even I sometimes imagine having a book published. All I'm trying to say is congratulations, you should be proud of yourself.

So excited for you!

I was so happy to see this announcement on twitter :) Thinking back to when you were reading the Dark Days of Georgian Britain and talking about Mary Wollstonecraft and now you've achieved this!

Congrats!!

I am ridiculously excited for this book. Preordering as soon as an alternative to Amazon is available!

I am happy for you!! take good care for the next six month then :) see ya!

I am so excited about this novel!

so excited to read this

Yayyy!! Looking forward to it

I am excited for this, especially as I've used a lot of my "free" (this is a dubious use of the word- I'm an essential worker in one job and a WFH person in another, and a college student) time during quarantine to engage more actively with regency era social satire.

i'm genuinely so excited to read it omg

For some reason I can only pre-order the Kindle version in Germany. But I will check again in the future to pre-order a physical edition!

Cannot WAIT to read this :)

Wow so excited!!!!

I added it on Goodeads so I don't miss it when it comes out!

Congratulations, Lex! On both the book and the coming out. Could you please let me know if there's going to be an eBook version?

congrats!

The cover ❤️

i'm sooo excited

I was looking forward to reading it since i saw your insta-stories last summer (in 2019!!! a year ago!) and now I have to wait almost a whole year... I have no patience

I actually burst out laughing when I saw the holding cover! That is classic and terrifying if you didn’t know 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hahahaha the holding cover. Nice. I'm so glad you wrote a fiction book. I was really hoping you would after publishing your non fic. Congratulations!

HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO BUT GOD I AM HYPED

omg. that cat tower tho

Congratulations. Please tell me that the cover on Amazon is going to be the official one because that is all kinds of amazing.

Welcome back

big reputation big reputation

This sounds so cool! Congratulations!!! I’ll definitely be preordering ❤️

Love the sound of this, will pre order when it's on more sites! Also that cover is fabulous why would you change it xD

I love the holding cover and the book sounds awesome but, this whole video I was just looking at the climbing house and the plants in the background and, does the cat jump and eat the plants?
