Say You’ll Remember Me

By Abby Jimenez

Quick sidebar: Is Say You’ll Remember Me one of the best Taylor Swift lyric-turned-book titles yet? Emma R. Alban’s Don’t Want You Like a Best Friend might still be the champion, but Say You’ll Remember Me is definitely a top-tier TSwift reference. (“Wildest Dreams” is the best song on 1989: Fight me.) Anyhoo, Abby Jimenez’s latest rom-com follows Xavier and Samantha, two people who have an incredible first date, but decide nevertheless to go their separate ways since Samantha’s family is in crisis. But of course, it proves highly difficult to forget each other.

Flirting Lessons

By Jasmine Guillory

One of the authors whose mainstream success heralded the current romance boom, Jasmine Guillory will return this spring with a sequel to Drunk on Love and her first sapphic romance.

Taylor needs to burn off some energy and Avery needs lessons, so voila! Taylor will tutor Avery in flirting. (We all know exactly where this is going.)
