Synopsis:
A fresh new YA romance novel by Kristina Forest, Zyla & Kai is an epic star-crossed love story about first love and not just the will they, wonโt theyโ but why canโt they?
While on a school trip to the Poconos Mountains (in the middle of a storm) high school seniors, Zyla Matthews and Kai Johnson, run away together leaving their friends and family confused. As far as everyone knows, Zyla and Kai have been broken up for months. And honestly? Their break up hadnโt surprised anyone. Zyla and Kai met while working together at an amusement park the previous summer, and they couldnโt have been more different.
Zyla was a cynic about love. Sheโd witnessed the dissolution of her parentsโ marriage early in life, and it left an indelible impression. Her only aim was graduating and going to fashion school abroad. Until she met Kai.
Kai was a serial monogamist and a hopeless romantic. Heโd put a temporary pause on his dating life before senior year to focus on school and getting into his dream HBCU. Until he met Zyla.
Alternating between the past and present, we see the love story unfold from Zyla and Kaiโs perspectives: how they first became the unlikeliest of friends over the summer, how they fell in love during the school year, and why they ultimately broke upโฆ Or did they?
Romantic, heart-stirring and a little mysterious, Zyla & Kai will keep readers guessing until the last chapter.
Content Warning: mentions of parent’s death & depression
