Uncover the tender and emotional young adult novel How Do I Love Thee? by Lurlene McDaniel — a touching story of first love, heartbreak, and the courage to embrace life even when time feels short.

The book follows three interconnected novellas, each centered on a teenage girl facing serious illness and the boy who comes into her life at just the right (or wrong) moment. Through quiet moments, stolen glances, hospital corridors, and shared dreams, these young couples discover what it means to truly love someone — deeply, fiercely, and without guarantees. Lurlene McDaniel writes with her signature warmth and honesty, blending bittersweet romance with real emotional depth, gentle humor, and the quiet strength found in vulnerability.

It’s a story that celebrates love in its purest form: not as a fairy tale, but as something brave, honest, and worth every risk, even when the future is uncertain.

Ideal for young adult readers who love heartfelt contemporary romance with emotional weight, fans of Lurlene McDaniel seeking her signature tear-jerker style, readers drawn to stories about young love, illness, hope, and making every moment count, and anyone who appreciates moving tales of connection, loss, and the beauty of loving fully — perfect for quiet reading sessions or when you need a story that reminds you how powerful love can be!
