I’m so pleased to share that Kaitlyn Hill will be coming out with two more books!

Hannah Hill at Delacorte Press has bought Wild About You and a second untitled novel by Love from Scratch author Kaitlyn Hill (no relation). In this grumpy-sunshine YA romance, indoorsy theater girl Natalie must team up with surly nature-lover Finn in an Amazing Race-style reality competition show set in the Appalachian wilderness that could earn them a huge college scholarship—if they don’t kill (or kiss) each other first. Publication is planned for summer 2024; Laura Crockett at TriadaUS Literary Agency did the deal for world rights.

With the successful launch of her first book, Love From Scratch, and now six months till book two’s release, Not Here to Stay Friends, Kaitlyn is so excited to round out her “reality TV trilogy” by revisiting a beloved secondary character from LFS and then––gasp!––possibly pivoting and writing other YA contemporary!

Wild About You is so funny, filled with Kaitlyn’s classic charm and humor, but it also handles mental health extremely well. For me, Natalie is like reuniting with a best friend…or even just a glimpse into my brain and all the ways it hamster-wheels when things don’t turn out the way we expect or hope them to. Toss in Finn, and you’ve got my favorite couple trope: grumpy-sunshine!

Debut released, another book on its way to publication, and now two more in the pipeline! Congratulations, Kaitlyn!
