Recommended reading order
Both sub-series are written as standalones and can be read in any order, but publication order is recommended to catch character cameos and Easter eggs. Start with The Friend Zone (2019) if you want the funnier, spicier tone, or Part of Your World (2022) if you prefer the slow-burn enemies-to-lovers style. Just for the Summer (2024) and Yours Truly (2023) share a connected cast with Part of Your World and are best read after it. Standalones Say You'll Remember Me (2025) and The Night We Met (2026) stand entirely alone.
