Does Love Always Win is a sapphic coming of age young adult novel that
explores coming out and understanding one’s sexual orientation.

Sam “Shorty” Daniels has a plan for her senior year, but her
romantic life being a hot mess was not part of the agenda. Shorty quickly
discovers she’s not attracted to her newest boyfriend and fellow marching
band member Zack, despite her many hours of daydreaming of what it would be
like to date him. Their previous flirting had been so intense that those
feelings have to come back again, right?

When Shorty’s asked to show the snarky new girl around high school,
Shorty’s instantly intrigued by Kristy’s wit, and they bond over their love
of writing. They quickly become inseparable, and Shorty has a breakthrough
moment realizing why none of her other relationships worked out.

Just as Shorty is about to break up with Zack, her bitter ex-boyfriend
Bryan threatens to out her to the entire school and Shorty’s conservative
parents. Will Shorty be able to overcome Bryan’s ridiculous blackmail scheme
and get her dream girl?

EXCERPT

I moved closer to her, and she wrapped her arms around me. I buried my face into her neck as she ran her hands through my hair. What was I doing? I was fairly popular at school, had a good-looking boyfriend, amazing best friend, and supportive parents. Why would I want to throw it all away to be with this girl that I had just met? What would people say if they found out? I wanted to stay in this room forever and not face the real world. Kristy pulled me back and gazed into my eyes. “It’ll be okay, I promise. I get that this is scary. How could it not be? Everything you thought about yourself has changed. But I’m here to help you figure things out and we can take this slow.” I took a deep breath. “Okay. Thanks. I think I’m having a minor freak out, but I’ll be better soon, I’m sure.” Kristy smoothed out my hair. “I’ve been wanting to ask you. Should I call you Shorty or Sam? I felt weird when we first met calling you by your nickname, but now I feel like we might be more in nickname territory.” “Honestly, I answer by both names, so whatever you feel like calling me. After last night though, you for sure have the right to call me Shorty.” Kristy nodded. “What about going to breakfast? Maybe that will take your mind o everything.” I gave a small smile and nodded.
