How to Write a Love Story
Same author's gentle, craft-and-secrets formula with a family mystery, but the hobby is writing romance and the crush arc is a slower burn.
Love, lies & lemon pies
Same cozy club-hobby structure and hidden family secret, just heavier: grief over a dead parent sits under the baking.
The way you make me feel
Another sweet, clean YA contemporary where a teen repairs family ties through a hands-on project, but with more comedy and an enemies-to-lovers spark.
Always and Forever, Lara Jean
Warm blended-family patching-up and low-heat teen romance, though this one closes on a firm HEA rather than a tentative beginning.
P.S. I Still Love You
Sweet, chaste teen romance with sisters at the center, but swaps family-secret drama for fake-dating and love-triangle turmoil.
Fangirl
Another girl rebuilding family while finding a creative outlet and quiet love, but older, sadder, with mental illness and addiction threads.
