We’re thrilled to share the amazing cover and blurbs for Marissa Eller’s sophomore YA novel, the bookish rivals-to-lovers rom-com LEFT ON READ! Read on to learn more about the book, and head over to our stories to pre-order. And thanks to Stephanie Singleton for the gorgeous cover art!

In this rivals-to-lovers romcom from Marissa Eller, overachiever Nova wants one thing: to be the top student in her school. So when a student who could beat her turns up, she tries to keep her eyes on her own paper… and off this infuriatingly perfect boy.

School is everything to Nova—literally everything, since she’s missed out on all of the Traditional High School Things in pursuit of academic success. Her senior year is going to be perfect, and so is she… because she’s pushing herself to her physical and mental limit. All she needs to do is ignore her mounting anxiety! Which is probably clinical! La la la!

But Hayes—her ultrasmart, ultra-annoying rival for valedictorian—is making her year far less perfect than she imagined.

He’s after that top spot, and he doesn’t care who he has to shove outside. But when Nova and Hayes are paired up for a group project on student mental health, Nova discovers that he might be the only one who understands what she’s going through. The burnout. The self-doubt. The unrelenting grind.

Together, they can stand up to the pressures of academia, family, and the way most traveled… if they partner up in more ways than one. A plum-purple slide patterned with small triangles in varying shades of plum. It features the cover of “Left On Read” by Marissa Eller, which is lavender and shows an illustrated girl with dark hair sitting on a stack of books, looking over her shoulder at a brunette boy.

Congratulations to Nicole Zelniker, whose YA debut ALL I KNOW SO FAR was honored by the Chicago Review’s list of Notable Debuts by Trans, Nonbinary, and Gender Non-Conforming Authors of the year!

Told in journal entries, ALL I KNOW SO FAR follows Avery, who moves across the country in their senior year to live with her brother—and his secret boyfriend. Avery can’t help but think, it’s great that Lucas is living his truth or whatever, but he couldn’t have told his bisexual, nonbinary sibling earlier?

Congrats, Nicole!

Beneath the images, a dark-purple text box reads: "All I Know So Far: Chicago Review's List Of Notable Debut By Trans, Nonbinary, And Gender Non-Conforming Authors In 2025".
