Romeo and What’s Her Name comes out February– but I actually have another book coming out in 2017 from Swoon Reads/Macmillan as well!!
You can vote on the cover for the second one starting tomorrow. (I’ll post a link soon). It’s called My New Crush Gave to Me.
It’s my Christmas/holiday/Secret Santa book. It’s a fun, teen romantic comedy — and I’ve included a post that gives a longer description – (there’s also a link there that provides a small excerpt.)

Help me find a cover!

The amazing people at Swoon Reads / Macmillan put together four possible cover directions for my new book Romeo and What’s Her Name — and you can help decide which one should get selected!

Just go to this link and you can rate each cover!

(The book is a romantic comedy about an unprepared understudy that is forced to take the stage with her secret crush!)

Can’t wait to see which one gets picked!

Here’s a little Q&A I did about my new book with Macmillan, Romeo and What’s Her Name, and a little video I made!

Can’t wait for you all to read this book!! I’m doing revisions now, and I’m almost done!

Here’s what the publisher said about the book:

Romeo & What’s Her Name by Shani Petroff
An unprepared understudy is forced to take the stage with her secret crush in this YA romantic comedy of errors.
Why we love it:
– We couldn’t stop laughing at the Bridget Jones style humor of failing spectacularly and making grand gestures!
– The theatre elements in this story were so fun! We love-eth the drama!
