Lizzie Franklin is a Young Adult Contemporary Romance author who lives for making angsty characters fall in love. What romance is complete without some struggle? Add humor and family drama to the mix, and you have her favorite recipe for a novel. She has written fifteen books and has finally published her debut, BEFORE WE’RE MORE THAN FRIENDS. When she’s not writing—which is pretty rare—she’s suffering through her English major, going on trips, or playing with her cats.

Before We're More Than Friends

They're just friends behind the screen.
Until they meet in real life.

Dallas Alexander Friar loves no one like his pen pal Chloe. He’s been talking to her nonstop since fifth grade. Somewhere along the way, feelings sparked for her that he couldn’t shake. Are those feelings terrifying? Definitely. Do they matter? Of course not—he doesn’t even know her real name.

 

But plans take a turn when Dallas’s mom gets a new job at an animal shelter in the suburbs of Las Vegas. As if things couldn’t get any worse, he slams into a rude girl at his first school event—who happens to be wearing the same bracelet he made Chloe six years ago. How could a meet cute be any worse? 

 

Raina Chloe Vermont trusts no one like her pen pal Alex. But when she needs him the most, he falls off the face of the earth. While she’s watching her perfect family fall apart, she has no idea that her charming Alex is the weird new kid who keeps popping up everywhere—and blushes way too easily. But soon, they become close friends . . . and maybe a little more. 

 

As Dallas joins a band with Raina, he has two choices—tell her the truth about everything or pretend that she isn’t the reason he’s blushing so much. Whatever he decides, he better decide fast . . . before they’re more than friends. 

 

BEFORE WE'RE MORE THAN FRIENDS is a closed-door YA romance with passionate kisses and moments that will leave you laughing, crying, and squealing until the very last page. It is first in the series When We Faced the Music but can be read as a standalone.
