Zyla & Kai

YA Book Chat

In today's episode I'll be chatting with my friend Bethanie of the Prince Kai Fan Pod about the book Zyla & Kai by Kristina Forest.
Zyla and Kai is the story of how two teens meet and fall in love. But theirs is not an easy love story. There are plenty of bumps along the way.
Join Bethanie and me as we chat all about the teen drama, complicated relationships, what it's like for a teen in therapy, the mean girls we all encounter in high school, and so much more!
A little about Zyla & Kai:
While on a school trip to the Poconos Mountains (in the middle of a storm) high school seniors, Zyla Matthews and Kai Johnson, run away together leaving their friends and family confused. As far as everyone knows, Zyla and Kai have been broken up for months. And honestly? Their break up hadn't surprised anyone. Zyla and Kai met while working together at an amusement park the previous summer, and they couldn't have been more different.
Zyla was a cynic about love. She'd witnessed the dissolution of her parents' marriage early in life, and it left an indelible impression. Her only aim was graduating and going to fashion school abroad. Until she met Kai.
Kai was a serial dater and a hopeless romantic. He'd put a temporary pause on his dating life before senior year to focus on school and getting into his dream HBCU. Until he met Zyla.
Alternating between the past and present, we see the love story unfold from Zyla's and Kai's perspectives: how they first became the unlikeliest of friends over the summer, how they fell in love during the school year, and why they ultimately broke up... Or did they?
