How to Say I Love You Out Loud

Written by Karole Cozzo
When Jordyn Michaelson's autistic brother joins her at her elite school, she's determined not to let anyone know they're related - even if that means closing herself off to all her closest friends, including charming football stud Alex Colby. But she just can't shake the memory of kissing Alex last summer, and the desire to do it again. Can Jordyn find the courage to tell Alex how she really feels―and the truth about her family―before he slips away forever?
