Love, Off the Record

** “Engaging, funny, and sweet….An incredible read and a must-have for all YA romance lovers.” – School Library Journal, starred review
“Love, Off the Record is the perfect example of why we love enemies-to-lovers romance. The chemistry was absolutely delicious, and I adored spending time in Wyn’s world.” – Jenna Evans Welch, author of Love & Gelato
“Sources are saying Love, Off the Record is Samantha Markum’s best book yet! (It’s me, I’m sources.) Wyn and Three will scoop readers’ hearts, not only with their newsroom antics and fight-flirting worthy of the enemies-to-lovers hall of fame, but also with their relatably messy journey through the first year of college. Markum’s signature wit and characters who come alive off the page put this story on the record as one of my new favorites!” – Kaitlyn Hill, author of Love from Scratch and Not Here to Stay Friends
“Love, Off the Record is a sweet romance that serves up hard-hitting themes along with swoony banter. A rivals-to-lovers story full of honesty and heart!” – Michelle Quach, author of Not Here to Be Liked
”The perfect blend of heart and heat, Love, Off the Record is the rivals-to-lovers romance of my absolute dreams. The tension between Wyn and Three crackles like a bonfire, every pop and hiss of rage bringing us one lick closer to the inevitable, delicious combustion point. I so sincerely love Wyn—who refuses to give credence to toxic narratives about her own body, whose loneliness is achingly palpable, who I want to wrap in a handmade Middle-earth blanket and hug forever. I loved watching Wyn unbury her own self-worth as she opened herself up to receiving love from the people around her. Truthfully, I’d read Samantha Markum’s grocery list; witty, hilarious, heartrending, and swoony, Markum’s is one of my very favorite voices in YA.” – Ellen O’Clover, author of Seven Percent of Ro Devereux
“Markum caters to die-hard genre readers in this banter-rich love story…Parental pressures and friendship drama add classic teen vibes while a sensitively balanced portrayal of Wyn’s body image elevates this journalistic-rivalry-turned-romance narrative.” – Publishers Weekly * 3/18/2024 *
“A headline-worthy romance that addresses topical subjects with gravity and gaiety.” – Kirkus Reviews * 4/15/2024 *
