Really enjoying my #YA romances and It’s You Every Time by @cthomasbooks.bsky.social sounds incredible. Out now, huge thanks go to Rosie @scholasticuk.bsky.social for my gifted copy 💖

The book and its press release. The cover shows a young Black couple sitting in the box marked 24 on a calendar, pushing it out of shape to give themselves space.

My soul-fluttering, heart-twisting, “I don’t want forever if it’s not with you” love story has a cover and a release date and a pretty cool blurb 🥹♥️ IT’S YOU EVERY TIME coming May 6!!!!

The cover of It’s You Every Time—a Black teenage boy and a Black teenage girl sit close together, looking confused against a calendar backdrop. Includes the following blurb: “A beautiful, deeply moving exploration of fate, grief, and love. This is one of those books you can’t stop thinking about long after turning the last page.” - Ann Liang, NYT bestselling author of I Hope This Doesn’t Find You.
