Rainbow answered Marina Alachkar's question: I just finished Slow Dance. Thank you for existing Rainbow. And thank you for creating characters that resemble us, nonfictional humans, so beautifully. Will there be another adult fiction novel soon? Please, please say yes. Love, Marina Thank you so much for reading it!! Yes, I am planning three more novels about adults. The next one, CHERRY BABY, comes out next year (2026).
