"Unrequited" is the story of a 22-year-old man from Portland who has love life problems.
So what does a 16-year-old girl know about all that?
"I'm in high school so I see it all the time. Kind of the petty he-loves-me-but-I-don't-love-him kind of thing," says author Paige Romero.
She says there's more to it than that.
"I've seen my parents go through their divorce, so I kind of know how that thing goes."
"Unrequited" is a self-published book. Romero says sales are good on the Barnes and Noble site.
She says she'd like to write for a living, but she says she knows that's like trying to become an actress on Broadway.
"It's my passion. And I just love to write, and it doesn't matter what age you are, just as long as you put your heart into it."
