Write Me for You

*An Instant New York Times bestseller!*

A soul-crushing but heart-healing YA romance from the author of A Thousand Boy Kisses that asks, what if you found your forever...just when time was running out?

Seventeen-year-old aspiring novelist June Scott has always dreamed of writing an epic love story. One filled with joy, beauty, and the kind of romance that lives on long after the last page is turned. But June's never been in love before--and when she receives sudden, life-altering news, she wonders if she ever will.

Then she meets Jesse Taylor, a boy with his own ticking clock. He lives every like it's his last...because it just might be.

As June and Jesse's worlds collide, what begins as a spark becomes a powerful blaze. Their days slip away like sand through an hourglass, full of stolen kisses and quiet moments that feel infinite. And as June captures their love in her own words, she creates something that even more infinite--a story for the world, a gift for the boy who changed everything.

Because love doesn't die, even if people do.

It lives on--in memories, in words, and in the hearts of those brave enough to feel it.

About the Author
Cole, Tillie: -

Tillie Cole hails from a small town in the northeast of England. She grew up on a farm with her English mother, Scottish father, older sister, and a multitude of rescue animals. As soon as she could, Tillie left her rural roots for the bright lights of the big city. After graduating from Newcastle University with a BA Hons in Religious Studies, Tillie followed her professional rugby player husband around the world for a decade, becoming a teacher in between, and thoroughly enjoyed teaching high school students social studies before putting pen to paper and finishing her first novel.

After several years living in Italy, Canada, and the USA, Tillie has now settled back in her hometown in England with her husband and two children. Tillie is both an independent and traditionally published author, and writes many genres, including contemporary romance, dark romance, YA, and NA. When she is not writing, Tillie enjoys nothing more than spending time with her little family, curling up on her couch watching movies, drinking far too much coffee, and convincing herself that she really doesn't need that last square of chocolate.
