K.L. Walther writes YA contemporary romance novels set in boarding schools, summer houses, and the kinds of places where teenagers have room to get into trouble. Her debut, If We Were Us, came out in 2020 and established the template for her work: close friend groups, romantic tension, and a specific, atmospheric setting that feels like its own character in the story.

The Summer of Broken Rules became a fan favorite for its Martha’s Vineyard setting and family wedding backdrop. Walther has kept a steady publishing pace since then, with multiple releases per year starting in 2023. She attended boarding school herself, and that firsthand knowledge shows up in the details of her fiction, from the social dynamics of dorm life to the particular freedom of being away from home for the first time.
