Heather Cumiskey

Heather Cumiskey writes teen crossover fiction about difficult relationships and social pressures. I Love You Like That completes the duology begun in I Like You Like This, returning to Hannah Zandana and Deacon as grief, deception, family instability, and first love pull them in conflicting directions. She Writes Press issued the book in 2019, with Simon & Schuster distributing it and identifying the intended school-age readership. Cumiskey worked in New York fashion before returning to writing and that her fiction aims to encourage compassion and conversation around complicated characters. I Love You Like That uses its continuing romantic plot to explore how unresolved family problems alter judgment and trust. As the closing volume, the emotional consequences depend on earlier events, yet its central conflict remains clear: Hannah and Deacon must decide whether renewed connection can survive the losses and choices that separated them.
