An ambitious teen novelist must play nice with her talented—and annoyingly handsome—rival at an exclusive writers’ retreat in this heartfelt romance from the author of You Bet Your Heart.
“Moving and memorable. A book you’ll want to return to again and again.” —Kristy Boyce, bestselling author of Dungeons and Drama

Macy Descanso is a writer. Who cares if her bestselling-author mother pulled some strings to get her into a prestigious writing retreat? Macy belongs here. Even when the coordinators unexpectedly announce that this year’s theme is romance, Macy—a total cynic—is up for the challenge.
But she’s not prepared for her critique partner to be fellow publishing nepo baby Caleb Bernard. While Caleb may be what most romance writers would describe as “swoony,” he’s off-limits, because the Descansos and Bernards have beef.
With a chance at publication at their fingertips, though, Macy and Caleb have to put aside their issues. But is four weeks enough time to fight through writer’s block, step out of their parents’ shadows, and find the courage to create their own love story?

      Parker (You Bet Your Heart) crafts a love letter to writing and romance via two teens navigating a chaotic summer of discovery and familial complications. As the daughter of two famous authors, Black and Korean 17-year-old Macy Descanso has writing in her blood. But she lacks confidence in her abilities; she hopes that participating in the prestigious, monthlong Penovation writing retreat in Berkeley will give her a necessary boost, even if her mother, with whom she has a complicated relationship, pulled some strings to get her in. At the retreat, Macy discovers that her critique partner is fellow writing “nepo bab” Caleb Bernard, whose Haitian parents have inexplicably feuded with hers for years. Worse, the theme for this year’s Penovation is romance in honor of the recently deceased romance legend Betty Quinn, who left behind clues leading to an infamous unpublished manuscript. Determined to solve the mystery, Macy and Caleb delve into Betty’s past, in the process uncovering secrets about their own parents, all while falling for each other. Macy and Caleb’s initial awkwardness and growing chemistry as they explore their surroundings, talents, and newfound relationship reads as genuine in this charming and heartfelt read. Ages 12–up. Agent: Peter Knapp, Park & Fine Literary.
