It’s You Every Time by Charlene Thomas
Genre: May 6, 2025
Publishing Date: Young Adult Contemporary
Synopsis:
Charlene Thomas, author of Seton Girls and Streetlight People, brings us a gorgeous YA love story about grief, how it leaves us stunned, and the day when—against all odds—the world starts turning again.
In a twist of fate, Sydney Michaels bumps into cute boy stranger Marcus Burke in the heart of midtown NYC during an impromptu trip to Dunkin’. But what had initially been an effort to soften the blow of failing her impending pre-calc exam, turns into a day-long, unforgettable adventure—when Marcus asks her to have breakfast with him instead. In just a few hours, Sydney’s already starting to fall, and there’s just something about Marcus that makes it feel like she’s known him forever.
As the night comes to an end, Sydney can’t believe that after all the loss she’s faced in the past two years, “the good part” is finally here and this perfect day gets to be hers—until an accident at the end of the night, quite literally, leaves her stuck in it.
Content Warning: grief, death of a sibling, death, drowning, parental death (recounted)

About the Author:
Charlene Thomas started writing when she was a little girl because she has a tendency to love telling stories just as much as she loves living them. She was sixteen when she wrote a manuscript that won the National Novel Silver Award from Scholastic Books, and went on to minor in creative writing at North Carolina State University. She writes books about the world we live in, inspired by her experiences growing up in Montgomery County, MD. She believes a lot in people and what all of us are capable of, and maybe that’s why she loves creating big characters who are steadfastly determined to change their own little parts of the world.
Charlene’s debut novel, Seton Girls, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly and was deemed “a timely examination of consent, power, and who owns the rights to the truth” by Kirkus. Her sophomore novel, Streetlight People, releases November 5, 2024, and her third novel, It’s You Every Time (previously titled Should Tomorrow Come), will be releasing in Summer 2025.
When Charlene isn’t writing, she’s also a marketer – having worked on brands at PepsiCo, Diageo, and Danone. She earned her MBA from Emory University, a Certificate in Digital Marketing from Cornell University, and a Certificate in Teaching Creative Writing from The University of Cambridge.
