Hi! I'm Kayla Maria - welcome to my page! ✨
I'm an author who creates heartfelt YA romances with unforgettable characters and authentic mental health representation.
The Summer We Turned Thirteen, my debut, became a Wattpad favorite with 500K reads and inspired hundreds of fan art pieces. ☀️ Readers love its nostalgic, summery charm - and you can read it right here on Wattpad!
My next project, How To Get The Girl, is a fake dating, enemies-to-lovers duology that became a Bookstagram sensation in 2023, amassing millions of views, thousands of TBR adds, and hundreds of ARC sign-ups before a single page was published.
After facing the devastating loss of my beloved brother and ongoing chronic illness while writing, I stepped away to focus on healing and completing the story with the care it deserves.
How To Get The Girl is finally back on track with Book 1 coming in 2026. ARC sign-ups, cover reveals, and release dates coming soon!
Thank you for being part of this journey. 💗
