Hi, YABCers!
Today we’re super excited to celebrate the cover reveal for
Every Borrowed Beat (Erin Stewart),
releasing March 11, 2025!
Before we get to the cover, here’s a note from Erin Stewart:
I am over the moon to be introducing this book and its beautiful cover! This story is very near and dear to my heart (excuse the pun!) I am a heart failure survivor, and even though I did not end up with a transplant, I have often wondered what it would be like to try to find out who you are in life, while also wondering whose heart—whose core—beats inside you? How would you let go of all the losses and look forward to a future you didn’t expect to have?
In EVERY BORROWED BEAT, Sydney faces all those questions as she navigates life after transplant. This beautiful cover by artist Beatriz Ramo perfectly captures Sydney and Clayton, trying to find their way forward from grief, hand-in-hand and heart-to-heart.
Ready to see?
Scroll, YABCers! Scroll!

For fans of FIVE FEET APART, this emotional and romantic YA offers an unflinching look at not only the realities of heart failure, but at memory, grief, guilt, and what it means to live—in spite of another, because of another, for another. For yourself.
Sydney Wells should have died. She was supposed to die.
She never expected, after years of waiting, to receive a heart transplant. Now, seventeen-year-old Sydney doesn’t know what to do with her life. Her daily routine consisted of staying indoors, eating heart-healthy foods, and posting about her transplant list experiences on TheWaitingList with her long-distance BFF (and heart failure buddy) Chloe.
Now, Sydney latches onto the one thing that gives her meaning: learning as much as she can about the person whose heart she inherited. After finding the family of her likely-donor, Mia, Sydney falls deep into her world—and may also be falling for Mia’s best friend, Clayton.
But Sydney isn’t the only one hiding something. Mia’s brother Tanner won’t talk to Clayton, and Clayton won’t tell Mia why. And hundreds of miles away, Chloe’s health has taken a turn for the worse. Sydney needs to face what’s in her heart—the truth, the guilt, and the future—before it’s too late.
