A modern YA rom-com about a popular high-school girl, her ex-boyfriend-turned-best-friend, and the girl they both fall for

Sam is a charismatic actress with big plans for her future. Rosalyn Shew is the smartest girl in school—but she’s a loner and likes it that way. Then there's Christian Powell, the darling of the soccer team. He’s not the best at communication, which is why he and Sam broke up after dating for six months, but he makes up for it by being genuine and kind, which is why they're still best friends.

When Christian falls for Ros on sight, their first interaction is a disaster, so he enlists Sam's help to get through to her. Sam, with motives of her own, agrees to coach Christian on how to soften Ros's notorious walls. But as Ros starts to suspect Christian is acting differently, and Sam starts to realize the complexity of her own feelings, their fragile relationships threaten to fall apart.

This fresh romantic comedy from debut author Rachel Roasek is a heartfelt story about falling in love―with a partner, with your friends, or just with yourself―and about how, maybe, the bravest thing to do in the face of change is just love somebody.

Rachel Roasek received a BA in drama and minors in sign language and anthropology from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 2017. When she’s not coming up with fictional worlds, she works as both a voice actor and a stage technician. She currently lives in New Jersey with a few dying plants and her dog, Lupe. Love Somebody is her first novel.

Natalie Naudus is a Taiwanese American actor who started out as an opera singer, with a master of music from the University of North Texas. She has a passion for stories and characters, and her language training has allowed her to develop a skill for accents and convincing foreign language dialogue. She excels at unique character voices and passionate storytelling. She lives in Virginia with her husband and two daughters.

Emily Lawrence, an actor and writer, is passionate about bringing stories to life. She has narrated more than 425 audiobooks, many of which were USA Today or New York Times bestsellers, and has also worked in film, television, and theater.

Alex Boyles has been acting pretty much his entire life. He got his BA in theater–acting/directing performance from CSU Long Beach and his MFA in acting performance from Ohio State University. He started narrating audiobooks in 2019 and hasn’t looked back!

Reviews

“The leads are relatable and realistically flawed, and their stories will appeal to fans of character-driven, slice-of-life relationship and coming-of-age novels. A promising debut about love in its many forms.”

“Roasek’s writing crackles with wit and authenticity, and Sam, Ros, and Christian will stay with you long after you’ve finished their story.”

“This thought-provoking contemporary…develops into an enjoyable romance as the three come into their own.”

“Roasek dives into the messy, confusing experience of queer adolescence with deep care, tenderness, and clarity. Teens are going to find a home in this book.”
