Zoë Aviya Harris brings a fresh, young perspective to YA contemporary romance. Born in Memphis, TN, her writing not only celebrates love but also delves into themes of self-discovery and the strength of community.

She is most known for her debut novel, The Bookposal, as it captured hearts with its unique premise: a love story blossoming entirely within the charming confines of a local bookstore.
For Zoë, writing goes beyond crafting swoon-worthy scenes. Her mission is to empower young women, particularly Black women, to pursue their dreams.
Through her captivating narratives that weave themes of self-discovery and community into contemporary romance, Zoë inspires readers to believe that anything is achievable with determination.

Unfolding Love is a story about a character learning to open up her heart to the opportunity to love, and may I say… I absolutely love the way it was written.

Quotes by Zoë Aviya Harris  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“How was the consultation?” he asks, and looking up from the crunchy gravel, I think for a moment before responding, “They’re bringing him into the station Saturday for questioning.”
“They are?” Aaron says, his tone surprised.
We approach the car before he unlocks the doors, yet we continue to stand still beside the trunk. “Yeah. Enough evidence to report it as an assault,” I add, my tone bland.
I take a nervous swallow as I part from Aaron’s side, and as he walks along the drivers’ side of the car, he gives me a worrying look. “You okay?” he asks, and without speaking, I nod. “Yeah,” I murmur. My hands grasp onto the door handle before I abruptly open it.
“Just a bit,” I pause, trying to form my thoughts.
The words sit scarcely on my tongue, unable to escape as I think.
“Scared.”
“Scared?” Aaron repeats, and I nod.
Placing his arm onto the roof of the car, he stands for a moment, one leg propped on the inside. “Of what?”
“Of shit becoming harsh on me.”
“Why would that happen?”
“Because, Aaron” I respond lightly, and Aaron raises an eyebrow. “Because?”
“Because that’s the way shit works. Nothing ever traces back to people like Chris. You hear me, Aaron? Ever.”
Zoë Aviya Harris, To Capture a Heart

“It's a cliche, but in this moment I'm exactly where I need to be.”
Zoë Aviya Harris, The Bookposal

“You’re not making this gift thing any easier, you know,” I comment with a playful tone, and Essence laughs.“Isn’t gift giving supposed to be a surprise?” she asks, her eyebrow raised in false curiosity.
“Yeah, and?” “If I told you what I wanted then it wouldn’t be very much of a surprise.”
Zoë Aviya Harris, To Capture a Heart

“What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Once upon a time there was a hazel-eyed boy with dimples. I called him Khalil. The world called him a thug.
He lived, but not nearly long enough, and for the rest of my life I'll remember how he died.
Fairy tale? No. But I'm not giving up on a better ending.”
Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give

“Writing is like sex. First you do it for love, then you do it for your friends, and then you do it for money.”
Virginia Woolf

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
Marilyn Monroe

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison
