Samantha Markum writes young adult and new adult romances with a strong sense of humor and a focus on characters figuring out what they want from life and from each other. Her debut, This May End Badly (2022), is a rivals-to-romance story set at a boarding school, and You Wouldn’t Dare (2023) puts two former friends in a dare-driven situation that forces them back together.

Love, Off the Record (2024) and The Roommate Arrangement (2026) have moved her writing slightly older, into new adult territory where the characters are dealing with early career pressures and adult relationships. Markum’s books are quick reads with sharp dialogue and the kind of romantic tension that builds through banter and proximity rather than melodrama.
