We’re thrilled to launch our official Author Spotlight Series! Each day leading up to the Scottsdale Book Festival on January 24, 2026, we’ll introduce one of the incredible authors you’ll meet in person.
Today, we’re excited to feature Sabrina Grimaldi, author of We Are Not the Same—a heartfelt Young Adult novel perfect for fans of The Summer of Broken Rules and You Have a Match.
We Are Not the Same is a sun-drenched coming-of-age story that blends summer fun with a moving exploration of female friendship and self-discovery. Told through the perspectives of Aspen and Matilda, two girls navigating love, belonging, and identity in a small Arizona town, this novel captures the bittersweet joys and challenges of growing up, letting go, and finding your place in the world.
