Hallisburg Prep is a three-book series published in 2021 and 2022. The Boy I Love to Hate, The Boy Who Steals Hearts, and The Only Boy Off Limits each use a different YA romance trope as their hook. The prep school setting adds a layer of social hierarchy and exclusivity to the romantic drama.
The series moves the school romance formula from the public beach school of Beachbreak High to an elite private school. The “Boy” naming pattern keeps the focus squarely on the love interests, and each title tells readers exactly what kind of romance they’re in for.
