Of the Publishing Persuasion - with MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU Author Clare Osongco

We fangirled SO hard getting to chat with THE Clare Osongco on the podcast recently @clareosongco 🤩👑✨️ Clare is such a wise, inspiring soul and her upcoming debut MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU is nothing short of a masterpiece. We cannot wait for you all to tune in!!! But first, here's more about Clare: Clare Osongco is a biracial Filipina American writer living in Los Angeles. Her debut novel, MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU, is coming out from Disney-Hyperion on Nov. 12, 2024. She enjoys mangos with bagoong, mechanical keyboard sounds, and writing super early in the morning when it's easier to pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist. https://www.clareosongco.com/about MIDNIGHTS WITH YOU “Where were you thinking of going?”“Nowhere.”“Great,” he says lightly, putting the car in gear. “Then we’ll go there.”Seventeen-year-old Deedee’s life is full of family ghosts and questions she can’t ask. She longs to escape her stifling home, but guilt holds her back—that, and the fact that her strict Filipino single mom won’t let her learn to drive. But one sleepless night leads Deedee down a road she never thought possible: secret driving lessons with the new boy next door, Jay, whose turbulent family life also keeps him up until sunrise.As midnights stretch into days, Jay helps Deedee begin to unravel her past, and as shared secrets blossom into love, Deedee starts to imagine a life where happiness is possible. But the deeper she digs into the trauma that has shaped her, the more that trauma threatens to tear Deedee and Jay apart. Together, these two must decide if the pain they’ve both inherited has the power to choose their fate, or if they have the power to choose for themselves.Coming Nov. 12, 2024 from Disney-Hyperion.
