Description
Together, Apart is a collection of original contemporary love stories set during life in lockdown by some of today's most popular YA authors. It's the perfect romantic read to spice up your Valentine's Day in quarantine!
Erin Craig "delivers" on a story about a cute pizza delivery boy, Auriane Desombre captures a girl trying to impress her crush on TikTok, and Bill Konigsberg takes readers along on daily walks where every step brings two boys closer to love.
There's roommates-to-enemies-to-something-more from Rachael Lippincott, a tale of a girl with a mask-making business and her potentially famous crush from Erin Hahn, and a music-inspired meet-cute from Sajni Patel. Brittney Morris sparks a connection with the help of two balcony herb gardens, Jennifer Yen writes an unconventional romance that starts with a fortune reading and a take-out order, and Natasha Preston steals hearts when a girl meets up with the boy next door in a storybook oak tree.
Romantic, realistic, sweet, and uplifting, Together, Apart is a collection of finding love in unexpected places during an unprecedented time, each with the one thing we all wantβa guaranteed happy ending.
In support of the book's publication, a donation will be made to Active Minds, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to mental health education, research, and advocacy for young adults aged 14-25.
