From the moment that Simon first meets Chloe, his love for her is evident—to the reader, at least.

While juggling all of this, Chloe still has to manage her school load.

In my new high school YA romance, Chloe—the female lead—is Black. She’s a second-generation Haitian-American.

While all this is going on, though, Chloe has another good friend named Krista who serves as a constant throughout her drama.

Which love story will you get to experience?

Even so—even after all the time they spend together—Simon still struggles to tell Chloe how he feels.

This type of dynamic can be complicated at any age, but I think it’s especially challenging when you’re a teen.

One of the things that makes these characters relatable is that…they do have their flaws and they make mistakes from time to time.

High school romance can be fun because you get to experience the simplicity of youth while also mixing in preparation for more adult stuff.

He doesn’t tell Chloe how he feels because she’s so lost on Mordecai. Still, he values her friendship.

But will Mordecai ever give Chloe what she wants—a real romantic relationship? Or will Simon find a way to win her heart after all?

If you went to high school before the internet had become such a big thing…you may sometimes feel nostalgic for a time when things were simpler.

Sometimes when I’m writing a story, I like to get lost in the emotional aspects of it. And that can be easier when I don’t include spice.

If an INFJ prefers to just chill, relax, or hang out with someone, it’s much easier to do that as friends.
