About The Dream Girl Next Door: A Young Adult Coming-of-Age Romance:
For months, she has had vivid dreams about a beautiful stranger. Then the impossible happens: the girl from her fantasies moves into the house right next door. Her name is Stella, a commercial model, and Samantha does not have the slightest clue how to talk to her.
That is where her fiercely loyal best friend comes in. Autumn refuses to let fate go to waste and orchestrates a fake double date to push the two together.
The plan works perfectly. But as Samantha finally gets closer to her supposed dream girl, she realizes her heart is pointing in an entirely different direction. Suddenly, the late-night library sessions and shared inside jokes with Autumn are making her heart race. The fake dates with Stella only prove that the person she truly desires has been by her side the entire time.
Samantha is now caught in a trap of her making. Telling the truth risks jeopardising the most important friendship in her life. But remaining silent could mean losing her true love forever.

Author Bio:
Susan Romeo writes big-hearted, character-driven fiction about messy, complicated people who are just trying to figure it all out. She specializes in capturing the awkward, funny, and deeply relatable moments of navigating life’s unexpected detours, often centering coming-of-age milestones. When she isn’t actively avoiding her writing deadlines by reorganizing her desk for the third time, she can usually be found scouring local estate sales and thrift shops for vintage books she absolutely does not have the shelf space for.
A true creature of habit, Susan is the kind of person who insists on drinking iced coffee even in the dead of a brutal Midwest winter. She lives just outside of Chicago with her family and a highly opinionated rescue hound named Buster, who frequently acts as her unofficial writing supervisor. Susan is a firm believer that there is no such thing as too much witty banter in a story, and that most of life’s real-world problems can be at least temporarily fixed with a long, aimless road trip and a meticulously curated playlist.
