We are lucky to have this booming new voice in romance." --Kennedy Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author of Before I Let Go

"Myah Ariel's When I Think of You is a sparkling debut that had me turning pages into the night. Ariel crafts a thoughtful look at personal and professional vulnerability in an often unforgiving world, with characters who burn bright for their individual passions--and their passion for each other. I loved Kaliya and Danny and their shared determination to build something new from the past that shaped them." --Kate Clayborn, author of Georgie, All Along

"A swoony, emotionally-resonant romance."--Fangirlish.

"A dreamy cloud of a book, Myah Ariel's debut novel is a reminder that Black girls with massive dreams deserve a soft place to land... At its core, When I Think Of You is a second-chance love story, but Ariel's stunning debut is so much more than that... Gorgeously written... Ariel declares that women, especially Black women, should never settle and instead should demand from others just as much as they expect from themselves. When I Think Of You reminds us that though passions often require risks and when they blossom, it can indeed, be magic."--Blavity

"An edgy, hyper-current Hollywood based second-chance romance between former college sweethearts, Myah Ariel's debut novel When I Think of You radiates breakout energy... Enticing and well executed -- multilayered and well-written with characters that are nuanced and human... Ariel transforms hard-won knowledge into a compelling romantic fiction that is a lovely balance of realism and swoon." --NPR

"Ariel's debut is a swoon-inducing second-chance romance featuring college sweethearts who never really got over each other... At turns humorous and heart-wrenching, with a smoldering sensuality that underlies even the most fraught of the protagonists' encounters, this novel is highly recommended for all library collections."--Library Journal (starred review)

Danny and Kaliya rediscover their old rhythms at a believable clip, making it easy to see why their relationship works, and Kaliya proves a wonderful heroine whose strength and passion in the face of adversity will have readers cheering. Ariel is an exciting new voice in romance."--Publishers Weekly

"The novel shines in its depiction of Danny's parents' story and in the scenes where the author weaves in Black joy and art. The flashbacks to the romance between Kaliya and Danny during their college years in New York effectively evoke the thrill of first love... Enjoyable."--Kirkus Reviews
