So excited to share ✨THE COVER✨ for my debut, Not Your Typical Love Story, a YA romance about two asexual/aromantic teens. And it’s better than I ever imagined! Look at those colors! The characters! The title treatment! Ahh! 😍

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

@hub34021 Thank you! That’s what I was hoping—it conveys tension in the imagery that ties into the story, and adds a layer of meaning to the title! I’m glad that’s coming across.
And thanks, I followed back!

Also just gotta say I love that on the cover, Analeigh is in purple for the ace flag and Drew is in green for the aro flag! It’s perfect 💜🤍🩶🖤🩶🤍💚

Happy Pride month! 🏳️‍🌈 Personally, I don’t love talking abt being aroace, tho I did write a book abt it, which is a little terrifying (why did I do this to myself?), BUT I’m so happy I can write books abt ace/aro teens for the kids like I was (or anyone who doesn’t quite fit).

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

who need it the most. Not just aspec teens, but anyone who feels misunderstood or out of place, who’s afraid of showing who they really are, or who’s looking for a book that’ll make you laugh, then cry, then laugh again.

@hub34021 Ah just seeing this! Thank you!

The inspiration behind it is that I was trying to think of THE most pivotal moment in the book for these two, and I realized it’s their deal…So I shared the idea of a handshake with my team and they came up with this! It’s better than I imagined!

@Camila_Alves_1 @WednesdayBooks Ah thank you! The team did an amazing job!

A few months ago, I couldn’t picture what my book’s cover might look like. Now, there’s no way it could’ve been anything else. This is perfect.

Preorder is available and the 🔗s are in my bio! Also up on Goodreads and StoryGraph!

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

✨Cover reveal✨ incoming TOMORROW! Can’t wait to share the cover for my debut novel—it’s everything I could’ve hoped for and more!

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

So, we’re just about T-minus one year and counting until NYTLS hits shelves with @WednesdayBooks on April 20th, 2027—stay tuned for more updates! Maybe a giveaway? Definitely a cover reveal! Based on the sketch I’ve seen, it’s gonna be so good… 👀

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

✨WE HAVE A PUB DATE!✨My debut YA aspec romance will be out April 20, 2027! & it’s up for PREORDER! With an official book description! 👀 (Scroll + 🔗 in bıo)

I’m excited to share details of this book, which exists bc I wanted to see aspec characters get a happily ever after.

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

✨Book news incoming TOMORROW!✨ I *finally* have news to share about my debut YA aspec romance! 👀👀👀

[Caitlyn Averett @craverett]

Both Analeigh and Drew are asexual, and Drew is also aromantic—and as Analeigh and Drew discover, theirs might not be not your typical love story, but it IS a love story. I hope this book will find any reader who feels overlooked because they’re just a little different.

pinning the editors guide to PREY FOR HIM, which is #onsub rn, just in time for the haunted season ;)

sometimes you just gotta write a book about disabled vampires, and the haunting cycles of abuse, and the religious guilt of gender and sexuality
