Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly event on Patreon leading up to the release of Unlucky Like Us on July 21st! Every Tuesday, patrons will have a first look at the teasers for Luna & Donnelly's out-of-this-world romance, Book 12 in the Like Us Series. We hope you love these little sneak peeks 😉 *prepares all the galactic glitter* 👽💜💘✨⌛️🌟

This is the last Teaser Tuesday before the release! Can you believe it? More teasers will be posted in the Fizzle Force Facebook Group tomorrow for the Pre-Release Party, but we will be reposting them here on Patreon as well for those who don't have FB. This might be a short excerpt (to avoid spoilers), but we have more new tidbits to share about Unluckly Like Us.

The Excerpt:

We share a lethal attraction, and I’ve never fully understood Romeo and Juliet till I found a love I’d rather die inside than live without.

~ Paul Donnelly

More News:

💜 Unlucky Like Us is the longest book in the Like Us series. The previous title holder of that award was Fearless Like Us. As far as the length in our whole canon of work, it's longer than Addicted After All by only 1k words. It's the 4th longest book we've ever written (excluding Bad Reputation Collector's Edition). Only Fuel the Fire, Long Way Down, and Some Kind of Perfect are longer! 

💜 You will be reading the First Chapter today. That's right. This First Look of Chapter One is dropping today!! We are wayyyyy too excited for you all to embark on this adventure. As Donnelly would say, hang on to your bootstraps!! (If we get really excited, we might actually drop MORE than the first chapter this week 😈) 

💜 We're going to go through your comments we might've missed the past couple weeks. I (Becca) have sadly been sick for way too long. Add that in with not getting much sleep on deadlines and it was a very "unlucky" situation 🫠 But I'm so, so excited to finally be feeling better enough to interact more. JUST IN TIME!! There is nothing more I want to do than scream from the rooftops about how much I love this book. Which brings us to... 

💜 We've both agreed that this is one of our favorite novels we've ever written. And yes, yes, we say something similar every release because each novel has our hearts. BUT this one took 6 months to create, and we know it wouldn't have been possible in a short timespan. We're just so proud of the story we were able to tell and the love between Luna & Donnelly that we were able to show and the entire construction of this novel (it was complex 😅). 

💜 This book is also a love letter to so many of you who've read the entire series. You're about to reach Book 12, and this book is so much more because of all the books beforehand. We hope you love it! We believe it's a really special one in the series. Thank you all for continuing this journey with us and the famous ones and their bodyguards 🥹 We love you to Thebula & back again ✨

i’m sooo excited!!! btw to anyone who has facebook, i’ve made an ULU bingo card. i’m planning on posting it tomorrow in the party, and again on friday. it’s no predictions, just mostly things that are almost bound to happen so it keeps it fun! some examples are “donnelly smokes”, “wawa trip”, “orion being cute”, things like that. hope you guys enjoy it on release day!!

Sioned

🫶🫶🫶 Nononooo spoilers here but if you had to say which chapter you’re most exited for us to read what would it be? Only the number 👀👀

Shelby Keating

No cause they literally are romeo and juliet- just with a less tragic ending (I know we don’t have the ending yet but i refuse to believe theres even a .00001% chance that they don’t have a happy ending, cause they deserve it so much!)

cass (ben’s version)

ahhhhh i’m so happy y’all like the idea too! i think it’s very cute (it’s space themed, obvi lol) and i hope y’all see it on facebook!!!

The scene in Misfits Like Us where they steal glimpses of each other at the Halloween Hellfire Gala walking through the party on opposite sides always reminds me of Romeo + Juliet for some reason 🥹 ~ B

dstny

IM SO STRESSED BUT SO EXCITED

Jaclyn

Omg SO excited🥹💜

Julia

Ahhh I’m so exited!!!🤩✨🤩✨I love a good chunky book so I’m pumped to hear its a long one!! I probably shouldn’t read the first chapter today because it will only make me more excited and it harder for me to think about anything else until Friday, but who am I kidding. Of course I will read it today, I can’t resist!😂

Melinda

Thank you! Hope you feel better Becca. Joining your Patreon is one the best decisions I’ve made. I am a lover of chunky books so very ecstatic for this. I just love this couple and have been rooting for them for what feels like forever and to soon have their second book with one more still! 💜💚🥰

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Yep! You can definitely request this if it's a book that offers character notes, but you'll need to specify that you don't want the character notes personalized in your checkout notes

Krista & Becca Ritchie

This made me smile so much!!! We're actually going to put 2 bonus scenes in the back of the Special Editions, so those will be quite chunky!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Tears in my eyes, thank you so, so much!! Omg 🥹🥰 my heart is so full, and I know Krista feels the same. We are just as grateful for you and your readership and support over so much time. It's such a priceless gift, and we can't thank you enough for being here and sharing your love of our books with us *hugs so very tight* Friday here we come!

Ella

Wait im so sorry im confused, I can still get character notes if it’s for a “signatures only” book right (personalized is sold out)

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so much, Melinda, for the well wishes! And we are so, so happy that you are here!! 💜 Sending so much love to you!!

Rachael

I found you guys 2 years ago through Hothouse Flower and I’ve been ‘addicted’ ever since. Congratulations on how far you’ve come!! Being traditionally republished is so exciting because I hope it will bring in even more people that will love your work as much as I do. ❤️ Sending all the love to you guys in this new chapter! 💕 🎉 🎊 🥳 🥂 🍾

Sioned

No I don’t think you can because it does state “signatures only” but if you can that’s awesome!!

Ella

Thats what I thought, too, but i wasnt sure. Thank you!!

Lauren G

😭😭😭 I am just so excited for this book and cannot wait to read the first chapter today (and anything else you are willing to share before release!) Donnelly and Luna have had my heart since TLU and I still can’t believe we are in the middle of their love story. Thank you for this series. Thank you for the love and dedication and details that your mega fans devour each and every book release! ❤️

Lauren Gibbs

I'm so sorry to hear that Becca has been sick, but I'm glad it's getting better before the release! 💕🌟 I'm so excited that this is gonna be a long one, I can't wait to want to savor it and then end up devouring it way too fast anyway! 🤣🙈 I feel like it's been so long since I've been back in your worlds aside from Patreon, so I'm super duper excited!!!!! 💯💖😝

Nimasha

I’m so so excited. I’m bracing for the angst because I feel like it’s going *hurt* but I’m unbelievably excited. These two have had my heart since the start of this series. I’m halfway through a reread of misfits in anticipation. Thank you for how much of your hearts you give to this world, it doesn’t go unnoticed ❤️❤️

Kristin McCall

I am excited about the teaser but sad because I honestly thought we would get the first chapter today. That usually happens right? Or am I crazy?

Carol Mancia

Disregard. I actually read the post hahaha

Lindsay Hunter

Not me crying reading this teaser you guys!!! Becca, so sorry to hear you were sick but SO happy you’re feeling better now! I CAN’T FREAKING WAIT FOR THIS ✨😭😅🥹☺️

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you! It truly was one of the worst times to get sick with so many deadlines and the release. I kept joking to Krista that this is the last time we name a book something like "unlucky" lol 😂

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you so, so much!! We're so grateful you found the books and stuck with them!!

Abby (Eliot’s version)

Sending you two ALL the hugs and good thoughts and sprinkling you with glitter and throwing all the confetti as you get ready to release ULU into the universe!! You two will always have my love and support for what you’ve given to us as readers - something that matters, that has lifted spirits, given life to characters who have become our friends, and given us yourselves as well because we all know how much you put into your books! Thankyouthankyouthankyou 💖✨🫶🏻
