Crush: 26 Real-life Tales of First Love (2011) is a non-fiction essay anthology in which twenty-six YA authors write about their own first romantic experiences. Laurie Faria Stolarz is one of the contributors. The collection is aimed at the YA audience but draws on the real lives of writers rather than fictional characters.
Anthologies like this one are common in YA publishing as a way of bringing an author’s voice to readers in a different format. For Stolarz fans, it offers a glimpse of the personal alongside the fiction.
