“I am so excited to announce my book YOU BETTER LOVE WHAT YOU SEE is coming to bookstores April 6!” she captioned a photo of the cover on September 14. “This book is a guide for anyone who wonders if they’re enough, who wants to lead with love and heal themselves, or who still battles with self-doubt.
