Author: Susane Colasanti

Susane Colasanti writes teen fiction about relationships, aspiration, and the gap between an imagined future and everyday reality. Now and Forever follows Sterling as her boyfriend Ethan’s musical career accelerates, bringing public attention, travel, and expectations that change the terms of their relationship. The publisher identifies Viking Books for Young Readers as publisher, dates the novel to 2014, and places it for readers aged twelve and above. Colasanti’s official bibliography independently lists the title alongside When It Happens, Waiting for You, and her City Love sequence. Her previous professional role teaching high school science classes gave her sustained contact with adolescent voices, classroom pressures, and school communities, experiences that inform the practical detail and emotional immediacy readers find throughout her published fiction today. Rather than treating fame as an uncomplicated reward, the novel asks what Sterling wants when another person’s success begins to define her choices. Now and Forever represents Susane Colasanti’s optimistic but clear-eyed approach to teen romance, where affection must leave room for personal direction and honest self-assessment.
