Young adult romance that’s sweet, deep and makes you feel
Page-turning, swoon-worthy and emotionally real
It’s a love story
We’re romance lovers so, of course, we want the yearning, the banter and the ‘it’s always been you’ moment that makes us melt. Who wouldn’t?
But … we also want love stories served with depth, heart and meaning - and with a side serve of self-discovery.
So we can find our next book boyfriend (#HeNoticedFirst) - and find ourselves along the way.
Find your story,
find yourself
Teens
Heart-centered stories that honor the beautiful complexity of becoming you
Adult readers
Revisit first love to find self-compassion and the emotional tools you need now
Educators
Emotional wellbeing tools disguised as romance to foster empathy and growth
Tropes and emotional truth
Yes to love triangles, friends to lovers and the boy next door. Not to mention, slow burns, the wrong crush and he-falls-first. Give us all the tropes!
Of course, we want all that! But we also want stories that romance our own heart, desires and longing.
We want tropes and truth - so when we finish the story, we’re left with both a full heart and a clearer map of our own emotional world.

Hello, I’m Jodie!
Author & Psychologist
I write young adult novels filled with banter, tension, family dramas, first love, and the complicated process of becoming who we are - informed by my work in Internal Family Systems (IFS).
My background as a psychologist shapes my writing — not as instruction, but as heart-led insight. I believe stories can help us understand ourselves, feel less alone, and make sense of the world inside us.
Alongside my writing, I also offer online Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and coaching for people wanting a compassionate space to explore their inner world.
