Riley Anderson swears she will never fall in love with Sammy Hong.
After all, every girl on earth already has.

But when Sam shows up next door with a scandal on his heels, their childhood friendship is rekindled and Riley feels the pull toward something more. But Sam is only here until the end of the summer and then he’s leaving to face the consequences of his actions and return to the world of pop stardom.

The pair, accompanied with Riley’s rambunctious younger cousin, make a list of all the things they want to do while Sam’s in town, but as they work through the activities and dodge rabid fangirls, letting Sam go may be harder than Riley ever imagined.

“A cozy, feel-good story that will warm readers’ hearts. Perfect for anyone seeking a sweet best friend romance, supportive family dynamics, and classic summer vibes.”Becky Dean, author of Love & Other Great Expectations 

“This sweet story is the perfect friends-to-lovers tale. Filled with authentic family dynamics, powerful themes, and the most wholesome of romances, Schaller kept me reading until the very end. If you’re looking for a book that will make you grin like a fool and warm your heart, then Riley + Sam is the one for you!”ALISSA ZAVALIANOS, author of Endlewood and Unearth the Tides

“Faith, friendship, family and fame collide in this sweet YA romance about discovering who you are and having the courage to be that person, even through the doubts. From the first page, I was in love with this quirky family and the way they cared about each other. Add in the boy-next-door/first crush/second chance at love pop star hiding from his scores of teenaged (and not so teenaged) female fans, and what you get is a beautiful story which tugs at your heart, catches your breath, and leaves you smiling. Such a great read.” HANNAH CURRIE, author of the Daughters of Peverell and Crown of Promise series

“Cheese and crackers! I didn’t want to stop reading this clean and wholesome contemporary YA romance. Can this please be the start of a series? Readers will melt over the marshmallowy sweet childhood friends-to-first-love romance that develops between sensible Riley and boy-next-door-turned-overnight-pop-star, Sam.

A wise father, protective older sister, and two sidekicks (one of them furry) round out this lovable cast. Ashley Schaller delivers another trustworthy story loaded with faith that teens (and their parents) are sure to enjoy.” Stephanie Daniels, author of The Uncertainty of Fire

“A charming romp through first love rooted in faith, Riley + Sam signifies everything we love about summer—from old memories to new dreams—through delightful narration and endearing characters. Reminiscent of your favorite beach read or a binge-worthy summer drama, this book will keep you turning pages into the twilight as your heart sings along with Riley and Sam’s swoon-worthy romance.”Taylor Bennett, author of Porch Swing Girl
