Beautiful European beach photograph for Carolyn Arentson Author manuscript work in progress

A college junior flees to France to find the father she’s never met, escape her small-town (humiliating) public breakup, and figure out life on her own terms—only to find romance, adventure, and a summer that changes everything.

Quote from WIP

“Maybe it’s easier to open up when you know you’ll never see someone again. Like your secrets are safer when shared across an ocean.”

Quote from WIP

“Because when you love someone, you just want to see them better. Happier. Whole. Even if you’re not the one who gives it to them.”

Hi, I’m Carolyn!

I write YA and NA stories full of heart, humor, and a little bit of style. When I’m not dreaming up summer adventures (that most likely take place in Europe), I run a fashion website—which sometimes sneaks into my fiction through my characters’ outfits.

I’m currently working on my debut novel.
