What Happened
Author Rachel Reid has announced a delay in the release of her highly anticipated hockey romance novel, Unrivaled, originally scheduled for September 29, 2023. In a video message shared on Instagram, Reid revealed that the new release date is set for June 1, 2027. This decision comes in light of her recent surge in fame and the worsening symptoms of her Parkinson’s disease, which have made it increasingly difficult for her to write.
Why It Matters
Reid’s Unrivaled is the third installment in her popular Game Changer series, following the success of Heated Rivalry and The Long Game. The series has gained significant attention, particularly after being adapted into a miniseries by HBO, which has resonated with audiences and contributed to Reid’s rise as a notable figure in contemporary romance literature. The delay highlights the challenges faced by authors balancing creative work with personal health issues, particularly in the context of sudden fame.
What’s Next
Despite the setback, Reid expressed her commitment to ensuring that Unrivaled meets her high standards for quality. She thanked her fans for their support and hinted at upcoming announcements that may soften the impact of the delay. As the release date approaches, readers can expect further updates from Reid regarding her writing progress and any related projects.
