Hey, dreamers and heart-chasers! Summer is approaching fast, glowing with golden sunsets, warm nights, and that electric buzz of new connections. As a young adult author, I’m all about weaving romance into epic adventures, and this summer is your chance to shine and attract that swoony spark. Here’s a quick, self-help guide to look your best, feel confident, and make this your most romantic summer ever!

Summer’s vibe is your glow-up muse. Jot down a swoony, fantastical idea in a notebook—maybe falling for someone special under a meteor shower or a love story born at a beach festival. Then, refresh your style to match your inner hero. Try wearing a bold new accessory like stackable bracelets or getting a new summery hairdo that brings out your inner beach god/goddess.

Stuck in a rut like a hero waiting for their meet-cute? Summer is your escape. Take a sunset walk and imagine it’s the scene of a love confession, or dive into a fantasy romance that feels like a summer breeze (my star-crossed saga Disenchanted might be your vibe). Add a self-care ritual—think a hydrating skincare routine or daily stretches—to radiate health and confidence. A glowing you attracts glowing connections.

In my books like Disenchanted, love sparks when characters embrace their true selves. You’re the star of your summer romance, so own your unique charm. Battling nerves? Find and repeat a daily mantra like, “My heart is my story, and I shine from within.” Dress in colors that make you feel bold—sunny yellows or fiery reds—to catch that special someone’s eye. Confidence is your ultimate glow-up and draws romance like moths to a flame. 

If you’re looking for the perfect summer read with a kiss of romance, check out Disenchanted!
