On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with G.F. Miller about her newest upper middle grade novel: WHAT IF YOU FALL FOR ME FIRST?

This relatable middle grade rom-com for tweens follows a girl determined to ditch her goody-two-shoes image as she enlists the cool guy classmate to snag her crush’s attention. 

Come listen as we talk about filling the gap of the middle grade rom-com genre, the character driven plot that unfolded over time and the delight G.F. hopes readers will experience as soon as they turn the page.
