My Favorite Color is The Golden Hour: Sweet YA Romance (A Favorite Color Novel)

A 2026 Teen Readers’ Choice Award Finalist!

When her childhood best friend turned enemy arrives back in town after three years, a girl must decide whether to hold onto that grudge or open her heart and finally forgive.

After a recent string of bad luck, Emma’s parents send her to live with grandma for the fall semester in their Carlton Landing vacation home. Never mind that she swore never to return.

But during her small-town autumn banishment, she’s decided to focus on a few simple things: school work, finishing her novel, and, most importantly, arranging a chance meeting with the cute carpenter next door.

But her plans blow off course when Bryson, her childhood best friend, arrives.

Sure, he’s tall and cute and has grown up in a very good way, but three years ago, she promised to hate him forever. She intends to steer clear but soon finds this tiny town won’t let her avoid him…or the nagging feeling that she has it all wrong. He was the one to blame for their broken friendship…right?

Is he merely a distraction from her carefully laid plans with the carpenter, or will Bryson convince her to break that promise to herself and finally forgive?

The Golden Hour is a dual-point-of-view, clean teen romance book with small-town charm, cozy lake vibes, and a nod to Jane Austen.
