You Were Made for Me

by Jenna Guillaume

Katie has always dreamed of the perfect kiss with the perfect guy. And now he’s just appeared in her bedroom—completely naked!

“Guillaume’s cinematic story weaves together beloved romantic comedy tropes touched with magic—or is it science?” —Booklist

16-year-old Katie Camilleri has accidentally created a teenage boy in her kitchen.  But Katie’s perfect dream guy doesn’t come with instructions, just lots of complications! Like stashing him under her bed so her mom doesn’t find out.  Or stealing her brother’s gym clothes to cover up a golden hottie with floppy hair and eyes like a summer sky. And what to even call him? Well, Guy, obviously!

Guy is puppy-dog devoted to Katie and will do anything to make her happy, but does Guy like Katie because he wants to or because he was created to? When Libby, Katie’s BFF, starts to question Guy’s affection, her own friendship with Katie hits the rocks. Then there’s Theo, the longtime boy next door who’s suddenly turned moody. Katie’s jock star crush, Declan, has been friendlier too. And when Katie finds herself cyberbullied by Declan’s girlfriend, it turns out standing next to an Adonis like Guy comes with a lot of unwanted attention.

With all the trouble he’s stirred up, is Katie’s dream boy all that she’s ever wished for? Or should she be looking to someone else for true love?

Jenna Guillaume, author of What I Like About Me, delivers a hilarious rom-com and uses her signature humor and relatable voice to explore themes of body image, friendship, and sexual identity. Sure to thrill fans of Jenny Han.

What I Like About Me

by Jenna Guillaume

A funny, authentic YA debut about a teen girl juggling body image, friendship, family, and a beauty pageant…all on her summer vacation. From debut author Jenna Guillaume.

“This is the book I would hand to teen me.” —Becky Albertalli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

“Features funny dialogue and fresh takes on body image and personal relationships as well as a plucky heroine who slowly but surely comes into her own…. Perfect for fans of Dumplin’.” —Kirkus Reviews

The last thing sixteen-year-old Maisie Martin thought she’d be doing on her vacation is entering a beauty pageant. Not when she’s spent most of her life hiding her body from everyone. Not when her Dad is AWOL and her gorgeous older sister has returned to rock Maisie’s already shaky confidence. And especially not when her best friend starts flirting with the boy she’s always loved. But Maisie’s got something to prove.

As she writes down all the ways this vacation is going from bad to worse in her school-assignment journal, what starts as a homework torture-device might just end up being an account of how Maisie didn’t let anything, or anyone, hold her back.

Jenna Guillame’s American debut features a plus-size protagonist with a compelling, funny, and authentic narrative voice. This relatable and charming novel about friendship, confidence, and self-love will draw readers in as Maisie’s realistic emotional journey unveils the importance of embracing one’s body and celebrating one’s self. Available in eBook!
