Lavender Kisses (A Novel)

Imagine being a teenager and getting ghosted - blindsided - by your first love (your first... you know) only to find yourself at the dinner table with him and your family, 15 years later, in your family home where he's been living for years with your mom who just survived a car crash and with whom you also haven't spoken in years after a heated and devastating exchange during your sister's wedding ceremony... Yeah. Amari didn't know how she should process that either.

This easy, fun, and heartfelt novel reads like a movie - a funny teenage rom-com and family drama. It's both a coming-of-age story about young love and first heartbreak and a story of family, growth, healing, and forgiveness. Young Amari tells us about her hot summer romance in Silver Spring, Maryland, back in the early 00s, and adult Amari attempts to fix her broken familial relationships and get answers from Ryan, her old flame (yet fresh wound).
