Monica Lu is a black African-Canadian woman who’s been loving books since the days of reading Dork Diaries. One faithful summer she decided to finally pursue her dreams of publishing her own stories. Her books contain swoony love stories filled with mostly POC MC’s, always pulling inspiration from various childhood favorites. When she’s not fighting her over-planning brain, she’s probably talking someone’s ear off over her latest favorite read.

If I hit a roadblock, I totally disassociate myself from whatever I'm writing, as if I wasn't writing the book at all. I hate forcing myself to write, because trust me when I say when I write, it just comes to me. If I'm stuck, then I need a moment to step back before getting into it. The fix for the block will probably come in a dream.(less)

Damned and Beautiful by Monica Lu
“Losing someone, it’s not all sadness. Grief…it’s a difficult thing but it’s more than just pain and misery. In a way, it’s a display of love. Grief is an echo of the love and joy that a person brought to your life. Even when
they’re gone, the moments shared with them still live. They still live within you.”

This story is so beautiful and moving in so many ways. I haven’t ever before read a book with a similar premise, and I adore the way Monica so lyrically sucked me into the story. From the prologue, I knew I was in for a story that was going to be an " Read more of this review »

“Never rid me of your smile again, Ezra West. It’s fucking beautiful.”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful

“She. Was. Gorgeous. It was as if the world around me had faded and she was the only thing that existed at that moment.”
Monica Lu

“You’re not damned, Ezra. In my eyes, you couldn’t be more beautiful.”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful

“Because I'll be damned to let fear take the beauty of life away from me again.”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful

“Dreams are the canvases of the soul, movies of forgotten thoughts...and that nightmares were the echoes of the heart's pain”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful

“But grief is a funny thing like that - it doesn't run on anybody's time frame. It comes and goes, and the pain from losing the light of our lives still resides in all of us. You never really get over these types of things, you kind of live with it and slowly make it your new normal.”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful

“Some people think words are just words, that they mean nothing. I pity those who think that way - it's sad. It's not true, it's more than just a couple of letters strung together. It's about how they can be brought together to form life. To compose. Whether that be in a story, a speech, or a song. Words that can make you feel something.”
Monica Lu

“To those who always fantasize about love and think the magic you read is all fictional. Your real, soul-crushing, world-spinning, heart-exploding love is coming. And thank you to romance books for being mine.”
Monica Lu, Damned and Beautiful
