Love Somebody

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.
