But over the course of the following year, Devon finds herself slowly putting the broken pieces back together. Now it’s senior year, and she’s determined to enjoy every moment of it as she prepares for a future studying the galaxies. That is, until Ashton shows up on the first day of school.

Who are your favorite authors?

Sarah Dessen, Nicola Yoon, Jennifer Niven, Stephanie Perkins, Huntley Fitzpatrick, Helen Hoang, Maurene Goo, Brandy Colbert, Claudia Gray, Sandhya Menon, Rena Barron, Adib Khorram, just to name the tippy tip of the iceberg.

What do you enjoy doing other than reading?
Playing the Sims, watching people play the Sims on YouTube, cleaning, and listening to music!

Where do you find inspiration for your writing?
Everywhere! Real-life, other writers, being in a bookstore, libraries! I think the most interesting is when I watch Twitch streamers. One in particular—the things he spouts off!—I’m constantly writing them down and telling him I’m going to quote him in a book someday.

What are your favorite books?
My all-time favorites are Dreamland by Sarah Dessen, Sweet Revenge by Nora Roberts, and Tara Road by Maeve Binchy.

Which character is most like you and why?
I don’t know if there are any characters anywhere like me (thank god!). Any character I create is definitely made of pieces and parts of me, but I don’t think any one character out there is exactly like me.

Ronni Davis grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where she tried her best to fit in—and failed miserably. After graduating from The Ohio State University with a BA in Psychology, she worked in insurance, taught yoga, and became a cat mom. Now she lives in Chicago, where by day she copy edits everything from TV commercials to billboards, and by night she writes contemporary YA about brown girls falling in love. When she’s not writing, you can catch her playing the Sims, eating too much candy, or planning her next trip to Disney World.
