Praise for Last First Kiss: ""A tender, slow burn romance about falling for your first crush, questioning your identity on your own terms, and finding your place in the world. Julian Winters delivers a sweet, funny, steamy, and uplifting love story that is sure to make readers swoon."" - Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola ""Last First Kiss ticks all the boxes: Swoony? Check. Hilarious? Check. Sexy? Check. Heartfelt? Check. Team Jordan + Jamie for life!"" - Adib Khorram, USA Today bestselling author of I'll Have What He's Having Praise for I Think They Love You: ""If you love a good Rom-Com for adults, you will love Winters' I Think They Love You. It's a light-hearted witty novel that shows that when it comes to love, second chances are truly possible. This book is a fun read that will appeal to working professionals on the come-up!"" - Essence ""Fun and frothy, Winters's second-chance romance is a celebration of family and love in all its messy glory."" - The Washington Post ""It's pretty impossible not to already be enamored with Julian Winters if you're a queer YA Romance fan, but his adult debut takes it to another level in this perfect mashup of fake-dating and second-chance romance in a Succession storyline."" - Smart Bitches, Trashy Books ""YA writer Winters' adult debut is a deeply romantic story wrapped up in a conceit that speaks to the complicated history between its characters, with rich flashbacks sprinkled throughout...A sweet, surprisingly emotional romance you won't be able to put down."" - Kirkus (starred review) ""Winters peppers this heartfelt story with witty banter, some fabulous parties, and a poignant message about being true to oneself. The result is as sweet and savory as, well, French toast grilled cheese."" - Publishers Weekly ""Fans of the second-chance and fake dating trope are going to devour I Think They Love You, an excellently executed adult romance, perfect for fans of T.J. Klune and Alison Cochrun."" - The Nerd Daily ""A fake relationship becomes a real second chance at love in YA author Winters's adult debut that delivers a thoughtful message amid steamy scenes and tropey plot twists."" - Library Journal ""A swoon-worthy love story? Check. Crackling chemistry? Check. Hilarious and heartfelt characters? Check. Julian Winters never misses. I Think They Love You boils over with heart and spice in perfect balance."" - Adib Khorram, author of I'll Have What He's Having ""With all the affection of a small-town romance and all the allure of a big-city love affair, I Think They Love You is a brilliant rom-com debut from one of my favorite authors! This book will stay with you like a last kiss goodnight."" - Ashley Poston, New York Times best-selling author of The Dead Romantics and The Seven Year Slip ""Have you ever been asked why you're grinning as you read? You're about to be. I Think They Love You is a second-chance romance for the true romantics, the ones who know love brings us to the people we need, even if it requires a few attempts. Julian Winters' adult debut perfectly captures the breathlessness of first love and comfort in bonds that will stand the test of time. Winters is an author who pulls you in with humor and sharp prose and then holds you close with moments of dazzling emotional resonance--this book is a must read."" - Denise Williams, author of How to Fail at Flirting

Julian Winters delivers a sweet, funny, steamy, and uplifting love story that is sure to make readers swoon."" - Alexis Daria, bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola ""Bursting with heart and overflowing with sweetness, Last First Kiss is a thoroughly charming wedding romcom about first love and second chances. I raced through it like Toad on the Rainbow Road level in Mario Kart, and I know all romance fans will do the same!"" - Nicolas DiDomizio, author of Nearlywed and The Gay Best Friend ""Nuanced, honest, and uplifting, Last First Kiss is a second chance romance that proudly wears its heart on its designer sleeve.

It's as sweet as an unexpected slow dance in a conservatory and as playful as a cake tasting turned flirty, and while Jordan and Jamie may have had their last first kiss, you'll be sighing happily over their firsts and lasts long after you close the book."" - Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone, authors of A Jingle Bell Mingle Praise for I Think They Love You: ""If you love a good Rom-Com for adults, you will love Winters' I Think They Love You.
